Jude Joffe-Block reported for NPR's Weekend Edition about Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Maricopa County's anti-immigration sheriff:
Most races for sheriff are low-profile, relatively low-budget affairs. Not so in Arizona's Maricopa County, where Sheriff Joe Arpaio is running for his seventh term.
He's known nationally for his hard-line stance on illegal immigration. Arpaio's base all over the country has helped him raise a stunning $12 million for his re-election campaign, making it one of the most expensive races for local office in the country this year.
