Posted by https://salaamallah.com/ on Fri Aug 7 22:00:38 2020 Joe Arpaio loses sheriff’s race in 2nd failed comeback bidYAHOO NEWS AP August 7, 2020, 5:30 PM PHOENIX (AP) — Joe Arpaio on Friday was narrowly defeated in his bid to win back the sheriff’s post in metro Phoenix that he held for 24 years before being voted out in 2016 amid voter frustrations over his taxpayer-funded legal bills, his penchant for self-promotion and a defiant streak that led to his now-pardoned criminal conviction. Arpaio lost by more than 6,200 votes in the Republican primary for Maricopa County sheriff to his former top aide, Jerry Sheridan. In the Nov. 3 general election, Sheridan will face Democrat Paul Penzone, who unseated Arpaio four years ago. Arpaio said he believes some supporters who have thanked him in recent years for his service really meant they wanted him to move on from politics. “What they meant is it’s time to go fishing,” said Arpaio, who isn’t an angler. “I still took a shot at it. I’m not ashamed. I could have won this one.” The loss marked Arpaio’s second failed attempt to return to politics. He ran an unsuccessful primary campaign for U.S. Senate in 2018, not long after President Donald Trump had pardoned his 2017 criminal contempt of court conviction for disobeying a judge’s order in a racial profiling case. As metro Phoenix’s sheriff from 1992 through 2016, Arpaio rose to political prominence by creating old-time chain gangs and housing inmates in tents during triple-digit heat. But he is most well-known for launching immigration crackdowns, some of which contributed significantly to his political downfall. While his defiant streak played well with voters for many years, Arpaio faced heavy criticism for taking on policies that he knew were controversial and racking up $147 million in taxpayer-funded legal bills. His agency also botched the investigations of more than 400 sex-crimes complaints made to his office. His political fortunes started to decline significantly in 2013 when his officers were found by a federal judge to have racially profiled Latinos in Arpaio’s traffic patrols that targeted immigrants. In his latest campaign, Arpaio got only a fraction of the campaign money he was famous for raising and was criticized for his conviction. Arpaio said many people didn’t know he was running until they saw his name on the ballot. His platform consisted of his unwavering support for Trump and bringing back practices that the courts have either deemed illegal or his successor has ended, such as immigration crackdowns. He also was facing a far more moderate electorate than in earlier campaigns. In the profiling case, both Arpaio and Sheridan were found in civil contempt of court for disobeying a 2011 court order to stop the sheriff’s immigration patrols, leading to Arpaio’s criminal contempt conviction in 2017. Sheridan wasn’t charged with criminal contempt. Arpaio and Sheridan vigorously dispute the contempt findings. Sheridan, a 38-year veteran of the sheriff’s office who retired after Arpaio was defeated in 2016, said he was unaware of the highly publicized court order and didn’t run the unit that carried out the immigration patrols. Sheridan said he could help turn around the tarnished law enforcement agency and insisted that he is his own man. Sheridan didn't immediately return call seeking comment on his primary victory. |

Knew there was a silver lining. Sheridan is Arpaio's former chief deputy and promises to reinstate many of Arpaio's policies. They don't want another pro-criminal Dem in there. |

They also don't want to keep footing the bills for lawyers trying to defend someone who ignores the law. The current Sheriff of Maricopa County is running for re-election so its not like there is no track record. In this case, I don't think your characterization matches his record in office. |

As much as I favor Joe Arpaio, he should just hang it up. He is up there in age, 88 years old, he should groom a like minded protégé that he can confidently pass the torch to and enjoy the rest of hid life in retirement. |

To be clear, it was the Republican primary, the election is later. The other candidate was a longtime employee of the sheriff's office. |

If you lived in Maricaopa County, you might not be so pro Arpaio. People got tired of their taxes going to pay legal bills to defend him and the Sheriffs Office in court for violating the law. Some of his goals may have been reasonable, but you don't get to trample on the law and people's rights to get there. After he lost in court, he chose to ignore the courts, and was held in criminal contempt, if he wasn't pardoned, he would be a distant memory. He is probably more popular as a folk figure outside of his home territory, he is considered devisive in AZ. Tey rejected him in his Senate bid some years ago also. |

Those of us who don't live there only see news snippets and sound bites, both for and against. We don't see the big picture. I get a different picture from my sister and brother in law who live there as well as from folks I used to work with who live and work there. The national engineering offices and response center for a company I was with for some 30 years was in Tempe. |

He was elected for 6 consecutive terms, served 24 years, and even when he lost it wasn't overwhelming. There were several lawsuits, but how I don't know how significant they were to the budget. I'd bet that Los Angeles pays far, far more every year. Maybe it was more mentally draining than financially draining.But he's a dinosaur. He was a dinosaur 20 years ago. His ideas probably fit better in 1940 than they do in 2020. |

Because it got worse towards the end. Not uncommon in elected office. Enthusiasm for a style wanes, and refusal to change over timeis often the downfall of elected officials. It got worse because he kept losing in court and would go back to doing the things he was clearly told he couldn't do. |
