$5 Friday!

John, 97% of our campaign contributions come from Arizonans. That's because this campaign is built by and for the people of Maricopa County -- not special interests from all over the country. While Sheriff Penzone continues to monitor the COVID-19 crisis so we can safely and respons…

What Joe Arpaio is up to

John, We know the differences between Sheriff Paul Penzone and his opponent Joe Arpaio are already quite stark. But their responses to the COVID-19 pandemic speak volumes about their priorities. While convicted criminal Joe Arpaio prioritizes pictures with celebrities on socia…

John, This Mothers’ Day is unlike any other. Many of us are spending it away from our mothers this year -- because folks are still serving their community as essential workers, or because we are responsibly practicing social distancing to keep our families safe and healthy. But …

Catching up to Arpaio

John, Over the course of the first three months of 2020, our campaign was outraised by Joe Arpaio’s. While we raised nearly three times as much as Joe in Arizona, wealthy out-of-state donors flooded the Arpaio campaign with contributions. Sheriff Penzone has been working tireles…
