Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he won’t run for Arizona governor
abc15.com

PHOENIX – Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio will not run for Arizona governor this year.

In a news release issued Monday afternoon, the Sheriff said his decision was based on wanting to continue to serve as the county’s top law enforcement officer.

“I am humbled by the encouragement and outpouring of support for me to run for Governor,” Arpaio said in the release.

“However, at the same time, so many have supported my campaign for re-election that I do not want to betray them by running for another office.”

The 77-year-old Republican would have had to resign as sheriff to run for the top office in the state.

He’s 77 so there’s hope that he won’t be in office that much longer. If the residents of phoenix aren’t smart enough to vote him out we can at least wait it out.
