Joe Arpaio announced on Sunday night that he was planning to run for Maricopa County Sheriff's Post in 2020 after losing his last run for reelection.
Arpaio was the county sheriff from 1993 to 2016. His 24-year tenure makes him the oldest sheriff in county history.
"The last four years have proven to be a time of missed opportunities to continue coping with the tough types of law enforcement that this country needs," wrote Arpaio in a statement posted on Twitter. "Once back in power, I will use my post to give pride to our law enforcement ranks, not only here in the fourth largest county of America, but in all the countries."
