Sheriff’s Emotional Election Night
After a hard-fought campaign against Joe Arpaio, Paul Penzone gathered with close friends and family on election night—but chose to keep the TVs off and wait for the results together. As people checked their phones, some looked close to tears while others couldn’t hide their smiles. Penzone didn’t yet know what the mixed reactions meant.
When he learned his race had been called first, the emotion of the moment hit: the win represented months of work, public attacks, and sacrifices made by his whole family. In this heartfelt story, the former Maricopa County sheriff reflects on the night his David-and-Goliath campaign succeeded—and the people who stood beside him.
