Independent Candidate Mike Stauffer photo of when he used to be a canine handler in his earlier professional law enforcement career.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio sent out this mass mailer this past weekend appealing to animal lovers, and as an animal lover — I appreciate compassionate acts to animals.

However, Arpaio needs to afford human beings humane treatment in his own Maricopa County Jail. Pregnant women are being handcuffed while giving child birth, and mysterious deaths are occurring in his jails. One death in particular that is very disturbing to me is when a Veteran of the Armed Forces died in his jail unnecessarily.  Arizona tax payers simply cannot afford these multi-million dollar lawsuits we are losing in light of the culture of death in his sheriff’s office.

We want independent voters of Maricopa County and Republicans who cannot stomach voting for a Democratic Candidate to know they have an option with Independent Conservative Mike Stauffer for Sheriff.

Mike Stauffer is the ultimate animal lover, and in fact, he depended on one in the line of duty.  Mike Stauffer is a former K-9 cop and he will ensure that animal abuse, as well as human abuse is not tolerated. 

Here is what Sheriff Joe Arpaio is mass mailing everyone in our county.
