The fire destroyed county Dems' offices. Cell phones, Chromebooks, other tech, plus Dem mementoes is greatest loss, per county chair Steven Slugocki. Adjoining offices of Arizona Democratic Party weren't damaged.

The suspect is Matthew Egler, 29. Apparently he admitted on social media his involvement and his anger with the Maricopa County Democrats.

AZCentral calls him a Democratic activist with a long and troubled history with the Maricopa County party over the years.

Fox10 Phoenix calls him a former volunteer who worked for the party 2016 to 2017, but has been banned for unspecified reasons.
