Sheriff Joe Arpaio Loses Bid for 7th Term in Arizona
Such a bizarre election cycle The anti-establishment, anti illegal immigration candidate wins the White House, the establishment helps keep hold of the Senate, and one of the staunchest anti illegal immigration public figures in the country loses after 6 terms as Sheriff. The GOP is all over the place.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, an enduring symbol of Arizona’s unforgiving stance toward illegal immigration, lost his bid for a seventh term on Tuesday, effectively ending the career of perhaps the most divisive law enforcement figure in the country.
In the end, Sheriff Arpaio’s bid for re-election as sheriff of Maricopa County was undone by Latino voters who responded to his hard-line position on illegal immigration, which included workplace raids, frequent traffic stops and harsh talk.
