AZ-SEN: Joe Arpaio still considering Arizona Senate run, says he met Steve Bannon twice [View all]

Former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he's still considering a Senate campaign in Arizona following the decision by incumbent Republican Sen. Jeff Flake not to seek re-election.

Arpaio, who in August became the first person pardoned by President Trump after he was convicted of misdemeanor contempt, previously said he was considering a primary challenge against Flake.

"It's still out there, I haven't made a decision," he told the Washington Examiner on Tuesday, shortly after Flake's announcement.

The former sheriff said he met twice recently with Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist who has sought to recruit anti-establishment Senate candidates.
