PHOENIX — We’re still a year away from election season, but Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has already thrown his hat into the ring.
On Friday, Arpaio announced he would yet again run for sheriff.
This campaign is not going to be easy,” Arpaio said in an email. “In fact it will probably be the toughest campaign I have ever run.”
Arpaio, 82, has been in office since 1992. His time in office has been marked by numerous lawsuits, including those to halt raids on businesses and alleging abuse of power. His office was also found guilty of racially profiling Latinos.
