Sheriff Joe Arpaio Will Run For Jeff Flake’s Senate Seat

Daily Caller: Former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio will run for the Senate seat which will be vacated by Jeff Flake in 2018, the Washington Examiner reports.

Arpaio was pardoned by President Donald Trump in August 2017 after he was convicted of disregarding a court order with respect to alleged racial profiling. Arpaio was an enthusiastic supporter of Trump’s candidacy and backed his 2011 claims that former President Barack Obama was not born in the U.S.

“I am outspoken. I’m looking forward to it. Let them come. They’ll have their political firing squads and bring tons of money here, because they don’t want to lose,” Arpaio told The Examiner, adding “I just want to do everything I can to support our president.”

The former sheriff is 85 years old and would be one of the oldest ever first term Senators in congressional history. Arpaio will face off with Arizona state Senator Kelli Ward and likely candidate Congresswoman Martha McSally.  MORE

  1. @MJA this isn’t a good idea. I love joe Arpaio but I prefer that he works in the border make sure that the wall in done . The woman that is running for that senator. She is very good . Plus conservative

  2. Republican Congresswoman Martha McSally — a former Air Force pilot — announced that she is running for Flake’s seat. I don’t know much about her other than she was a pilot in the AF.

    But I’m not sure if Arizona Republicans will vote for her because she’s not a hundred and six.

  3. 💢💢JUNE 14th THIS GUY WILL BE 86 YEARS OLD!💢💢

    Good lord, can’t this guy just be ASSIGNED something that he likes and is good at before he keels over?

    There’s lots of things he can directly do that will have an immediate impact with his knowledge. Use the skill set that he has and save him from himself and a grueling campaign.
