Joe Arpaio May Challenge Jeff Flake for Arizona Senate Seat
Steven Nelson reports at the Washington Examiner:
After receiving President Trump's first pardon, Joe Arpaio's plans have gone from possible prison to book-writing, speeches, and potentially another run for office in Arizona, with Sen. Jeff Flake's seat one opportunity he is eyeing.
The former Maricopa County sheriff told the Washington Examiner he's upset at negative reaction to the Friday pardon, and that he feels Republican politicians are insufficiently supportive of the president, who he calls a great man.
"I could run for mayor, I could run for legislator, I could run for Senate," Arpaio said Monday. One particular race, however, is likely to gain significant attention: the GOP primary next year facing Flake, R-Ariz., a forceful Trump critic.
"There's no way I'm going to go fishing," Arpaio said, according to the Examiner.
Comment: Run, Joe, Run.
