"Joe Arpaio, the former sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, said Thursday that he was “ seriously, seriously, seriously considering running for the U.S. Senate.”
“I am considering running for the Senate, Flake’s seat,” he told the Daily Beast , referring to Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who announced his retirement in October. “I feel like I just gave you a little scoop there.”
President Donald Trump erased Arpaio’s conviction for criminal contempt of court — one he earned for defying a court order to stop racially profiling Latinos — with a presidential pardon on Aug. 25.
“ Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now eighty-five years old, and after more than fifty years of admirable service to our Nation, he is worthy candidate for a Presidential pardon,” the White House said in a statement at the time.
Days after that Pardon, Arpaio hinted he had Flake’s seat on his mind. “I could run for mayor, I could run for legislator, I could run for Senate,” he said .
After Flake announced his retirement, leaving an open election field, Apraio’s interest seems to have grown.
Arpaio is infamous for his jailing practices: He once called his outdoor “Tent City” jail a “concentration camp,” and there were numerous reports of abuse at his facilities over Arpaio’s 23 years as sheriff. "
