Arpaio ‘seriously, seriously, seriously’ considering Senate run

Share:

Former Maricopa County, Ariz. Sheriff Joe Arpaio told The Daily Beast Thursday that he is “seriously, seriously, seriously considering running for the U.S. Senate” to replace the retiring Jeff Flake.

The Daily Beast reached out to Arpaio shortly after Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., announced his resignation over discussions with two female staffers about whether they would consider being a surrogate mother.

Arpaio described Franks as “a great man, and a great friend, and it’s a great loss for Arizona and our country.”

In July, Arpaio was convicted of criminal contempt for what a judge called “flagrant disregard” of a 2011 court order to stop traffic patrols that targeted illegal immigrants. He was pardoned by President Donald Trump the following month and the case against him was dropped in October.
