Zero Tolerance for Election Day Disrupters

My Statement on Today's Verdict

John, Today, a person empowered to protect and serve was convicted of murder. Today, a disenfranchised community received justice. Unfortunately, that does not restore a lost life.  Although law enforcement represents order, we must better represent equality and justice. The diverse an…

Jerry Sheridan is cozying up to racists

John — We thought we’d heard the last disqualifying scandal from Jerry Sheridan, but we were wrong. And it keeps getting worse… A video of Jerry Sheridan was uncovered which shows him talking with the leader of the AZ Patriots, who’s facing charges of identity theft, and giving a wink …

tomorrow

John, Tomorrow is Election Day, and if you’re like me, it’s hard to watch TV these days because every commercial is a political ad. From bashing people and then praising someone else, to using scare tactics, there is just so much nasty partisan politics. Here’s what I think: Politics …

John — The finish line of this campaign is in sight, we’re so close, but we can’t let up now. This campaign is firing on all cylinders to make sure we get the Sheriff across the finish line, and that means we’re GETTING OUT THE VOTE! We’re dropping off campaign literature, blanketing M…

John, In just a few days, the polls will close and the votes will be tallied here in Maricopa County. We’ll know whether we took another step forward by committing to Sheriff Paul Penzone’s vision for Maricopa County, or if we took a giant leap back by resurrecting the Arpaio-Sheridan…

bizarre campaign stunt

Sheridan should’ve lost his badge

Sheridan’s support for a disgraced officer

Hey John — I’m about to go onstage for my debate so I’ll make this quick. This debate is going to shine a spotlight on our race. By giving Sheridan a microphone he is going to be able to spread his destructive rhetoric which (inevitably) will give his campaign a financial boost. We c…
