Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio plans to run for Senate in Arizona, he announced Tuesday. Arpaio was pardoned in August by President Donald Trump, after being convicted for defying a judge’s order to end traffic patrols targeting immigrants. Arpaio said in a tweet he’s running “to support the agenda and policies of President Donald Trump in his mission to Make America Great Again.” Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, a Republican, has announced he won’t seek re-election.
