Arpaio far ahead of challengers in campaign funds
Source: Associated Press
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is leading campaign fundraising efforts by a large margin over challengers vying for his office in November, and a recent analysis of contributions shows that the incumbent lawman received about 80 percent of his funds from out-of-state donors.
The Arizona Republic reports that the five-term Republican sheriff raised more than $140,000 from Arizona donors and reaped more than $800,000 from out-of-state contributors from Jan. 1 through May 31.
Arpaio's campaign had $3.4 million on hand at the end of that period, while his challengers had much smaller amounts.
... California provided Arpaio's largest out-of-state base of support, followed by Texas and Florida. That support is in large part the result of the sheriff's role as a national figure in the immigration-enforcement movement.
