PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona State University official has been appointed to the Arizona House to fill a vacancy. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted Wednesday to appoint Democrat Marcelino Quinonez to fill the District 27 vacancy created by the November resignation of Rep. Diego Rodriguez. Quinonez has been the director of educational outreach and partnerships for ASU but will step down from the university position to take the legislative office. The supervisors chose Quinonez from among three candidates nominated by Democratic Party activists in the district. District 27 covers much of downtown and southwest Phoenix. Rodriguez resigned to run for state attorney general.
