Joe Arpaio (R) is the current sheriff of Maricopa county, the 4th most populous county in the US and contains the majority of Arizona's population. Supporters praise his toughness on crime and illegal immigration while critics cite him disobeying a federal court order to quit treating every Mexican like an illegal immigration and his failure to investigate sexual abuse cases. His opponent, Paul Penzone (D), is currently leading in the polls. Penzone isn't exempt from criticism either as 13 years ago, there was an incident between him and his ex wife. However, the campaign ads against Penzone are a bit questionable about the story Arizona's Politics: FACT CHECK FLASHBACK: Arpaio's 2012 Domestic Violence Ad Vs. Paul Penzone and according to penzone's words, Arpaio apologized about the defamation ads and said that he only did it to win but he's doing it again. If Penzone is being truthful, it says that Arpaio is a selfish scumbag who would do anything to keep his seat and that he knows that defamation is wrong but he does it anyway. Recently, Penzone has filed a lawsuit against his opponent for what he says are defamation while Arpaio claims that the ads are accurate to what the court ruled.
as of October 20 2016, Paul Penzone is in the lead https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2016/10/20/az-poll-arpaio-penzone-border-wall/ but if Sheriff Arpaio can push the domestic violence story far enough, he could win the undecided voters
