Maricopa County Sheriff

Democratic candidate for Sherriff, Dan Saban, has challenged Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to seven debates from July through October. Saban is proposing the candidates meet in Anthem, Guadalupe, Sun City, Sun Lakes, Wickenburg and twice in Phoenix. Saban is giving Arpaio until July 1st to accept. If Arpaio does not accept the challenge Saban plans to have town hall meetings in the locations stated to answer questions from the voters. 

Maricopa County Sheriff candidate Dan Saban is accusing Sheriff Joe Arpaio of misrepresenting facts to make his office look better.  Last week Arpaio appeared on John Hook’s Newsmaker Sunday FOX10 show defending the $43M the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has paid in lawsuits. During that appearance he claimed the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department paid out more than $400M in lawsuits over the past five years.

Saban’s campaign contacted the LASD Civil Litigation Unit who claimed the number was closer to $60 million than $400 million.

Democrat candidate for Maricopa County Sheriff, Dan Saban, will submit more than 8,000 signatures tomorrow.  2,480 valid signatures are required by June 4th for Saban to obtain ballot status against Sheriff Joe Arpio.
