Unrepentant racist and birther, Joe Arpaio, announced he will run for sheriff of Maricopa County in 2020. If he wins the election, it will be his 7th term.
He tweeted his announcement on the anniversary date of his presidential pardon and wife’s birthday, August 25th.
According to his official announcement: “Arpaio will re-open Tent City Jail and bring back his popular jail policies, reinstitute the Posse to its former strength and continue to enforce all Arizona laws that deal with drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and other crimes associated with the border and illegal immigration.“
Maricopa County’s current sheriff Paul Penzone (D) defeated Arpaio in 2016. He is expected to run for reelection in 2020.
