PHOENIX – Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is expected to announce Monday if he'll run for Arizona governor.

Several sources confirm to the ABC15 Investigators that Arpaio has already made a decision, and will likely run for the office.

In a news conference after this story was first published, the Sheriff said he was still weighing his options, but also that he would in fact have an announcement on Monday.

However, when asked about a state sales tax during the news conference, the Sheriff either misspoke or leaked his decision.

"When I'm the governor, I'll study the issue," he said. "If become the governor..so I become the governor...I'll study it."

Amen! This is THE best news Arizona could have - bar none! We need a nation full of sheriff's like Sheriff Arpaio. Respectinig law officers is long overdue and he is the ultimate in commanding that all the way from perps to politicians. Excellent news!!!!!!!

[doc1019]

Guess it would depend on what kind of sex you are getting (or use to) ... LOL!

[Ronald_Magnus]

I thought Brewer was doing right. Why would we want to dump her?

[chicagolady]

WOOOHOOOO!! I WILL go walk Precints!!

[al baby]

[al baby]

Palin Arpaio 2012

[Cicero]

Well, I have the greatest admiration for Sherriff Joe, but Jan Brewer is a hero, too. And we need someone like that to set the example of how a sherriff should handle the job.

Just saying. It’s up to the voters of Arizona.

[aft_lizard]

I am not sure I would vote for him. He is better serving the people of Arizona right where he is. Plus he is an octagenarian and frankly as much as I like old people I am not sure if he would even last a full term.

[chicagolady]

I do not think it really matters, if she is that good, she could be somewhere in his administration

I brought Sheriff Joe to Chicago he is a BRILLANT MAN!

With Obama at the helm WE NEED SHERIFF JOE!!

If the Federal Goverbnment will not do the job..JOE WILL!!

[Frantzie]

Wow this is a ough one. I love Sheriff Joe but Jan is a good lady. I wish she would run for Congress or against RINO Kyl or RINO Flake.

[SandRat]

I'd want Arpaio as head of the FBI.

He'd be around as Long as J. Edger Hoover annoying one President after another and no nonsense rounding up the Bad GUYs of whatever stripe.

[Falcon28]

I thought Brewer was doing right. Why would we want to dump her?

Becuase it's Joe Arpaio! What else needs to be said? Plus, I've heard some AZ Freepers say she has stalled tax cuts or something to that effect.

[Falcon28]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[leapfrog0202]

PLEASE PINCH ME!!

This is BETTER than SEX!!

I’m not that excited. Arpaio helped to make Butch Napolitano Governor with his hearty endorsement over Matt Salmon. I endorsed Dean Martin this time around, but I appreciated what Gov. Brewer had the guts to do.

[Falcon28]

I wish she would run for Congress or against RINO Kyl or RINO Flake.

That's actually a good idea. Now, we just need to convince her to do so before Aug. primaries.

[Hildy]

I’ve got to say that there are some very good people running for Governor of this State. Dean Martin, Hugh Kealer...all good Conservative. But if sheriff Joe runs, everyone may as well drop out.

He's 77. Yes, old, but even if he serves one term, it'll be one great term!

[AZamericonnie]

Are you ready to say Governor Arpaio?

I'm not so sure Sandy....he's real good at what he does right now.

If it ain't broke don't fix it???:)

[Falcon28]

....he's real good at what he does right now.

Now, just imagine what he could do if he led the whole state. Maricopa County-style justice state-wide!

[joma89]

In the immortal words from a very popular cartoon show of my child hood, “Go Joe!!!!”

JoMa

[SandRat]

Whatever path he selects I’ll support him.

[Secret Agent Man]

I’ll support him if he runs for governor.

[chicagolady]

I brought Sheriff Joe to a Conference in Chicago August 2008

This is a Must Watch, He is FABULOUS!!

Brought to you by Blogs for Borders folks, they did a great interview in the VFW hall we were in!!

[al baby]

And I bet would look ravishing in a Dress

[chooseascreennamepat]

“I wish she would run for Congress or against RINO Kyl or RINO Flake.”

Well, Kyl is in the US Senate and she doesn't live in Flake's district, (I don't think).

That aside, I am getting darn tired of female Govs here. Each has been a huge disappointment. The female hormones always seem to get in the way of conservative thinking!

[LaDivaLoca]

I love our Sheriff but if he runs for Gov and wins who will take his place as Sheriff? We need someone like him as Sheriff. If someone else who is limp-wristed becomes Sheriff then all the hard work he has done will just go to waste! I believe we have enough conservatives running for Gov. I’m torn.

As for Gov Brewer, she has no choice about the taxes and I am not happy about it either. What is she to do when our previous Gov. Napolitano left her a huge budget headache? Maybe once the illegals leave our state, our financial situation may not be that bad. I’m praying and staying hopeful. She has made a lot of cuts too but we’re still in a hole. AND the Feds still owe us money - border/immigration expenditures.

[hoosierham]

Dumping Brewer for Sheriff Joe after she had the courage to sign several very conservative laws seems ungrateful.

[AZamericonnie]

I agree with you Sandy...but he's such a good sheriff!:)

[TornadoAlley3]

Dear Lord, Keep Sheriff Joe safe.

[backwoods-engineer]

If Joe runs, I will send him money aplenty. Whether I have it or not. And maybe consider moving to AZ if he wins! (Wife is hitting me right now.)

[AZamericonnie]

Now, just imagine what he could do if he led the whole state. Maricopa County-style justice state-wide!

You may be right Falcon...but I think we would have to be prepared from the git go for the controversy that would follow him into office. Unjustly for sure but it will be there. I do love the man & I appreciate what he has done for the county over all these years! Just mulling it over....

[MrEdd]

Are you ready to say Governor Arpaio?

Sure! President Arpaio. Did I get it right?
