Arpaio considering run for governor

The Maricopa County sheriff is thinking about another job.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio is considering running for governor this year. He won't say what he'd do about the state budget if elected.

"First of all I won't answer that and give away my secrets to all the other opponents," he said. "I will answer that if I decide to run. People have to understand where I'm coming from."

He's confident that he'd win the election and can do the job of governor. "I'll take my resume and put it against anybody in this state where I've been in private business. I've been in the Army...I met with ambassadors. I can go on and on."

"If you get the people behind you, which I sure have, I think that's the real secret weapon to get things done. And if they trust the person, have confidence in that person, you can move mountains."

Arpaio said he'll run for governor if he feels "the people want him to."

One concern is that he'd have to resign as sheriff and that the Maricopa County Board of supervisors, several of whom his department has investigated, would get to name his successor.

Please Joe run for the office of Governor!!!! We the people are behind you every step of the way!!

Imagine, a politician that would say what he means and means what he says.

I really wish this article said he's running for president instead. How things would change in a hurry.
