“America’s Toughest Sheriff” Joe Arpaio endorses Mike Bouchard for Governor
Oakland County – Mike Bouchard, Republican candidate for governor, today has gained the endorsement of “America’s Toughest Sheriff” Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County in Arizona. Bouchard’s latest endorsement adds to the tremendous list of supporters including the Michigan Fraternal Order of Police, Police Officers Association of Michigan and 42 Sheriffs in Michigan.
“I am extremely pleased to have earned the endorsement of one of my esteemed colleagues who understands the threat of illegal immigration and border security,” said Bouchard. “Michigan needs a strong leader like Sheriff Joe who shows backbone. On Day One, I will be the leader Michigan needs.”
Bouchard gained attention for being the first in Michigan to stand with Arizona for enforcing their own illegal immigration law when the federal government failed to secure our borders and called for Michigan to adopt similar legislation.
“This country needs are more men of action who are capable of making difficult decisions. Mike Bouchard is a decisive leader and I am confident under his watch Michigan will once again be a great state,” said Sheriff Joe Arpaio. “I am proud to support and endorse Mike Bouchard for governor of Michigan. As Michigan’s next governor, Mike will work to stop the flow of illegal immigrants in our country and secure Michigan’s borders. Mike Bouchard is a strong leader and a straight shooter.”
Sheriff Arpaio gained national attention in 1993 when he created the nations largest Tent City for convicted inmates and when he required his inmates to wear pink.

Our praise for you in your “Right To Work” message. The auto unions BLACKMAILED our industries into ruin. When industry realized they didn’t need to be pushed around, THEY LEFT THE STATE! A City Manager I know states that every time “out of state” manufacturers talk to him about locating in Michigan, the first thing they ask is, “What is your labor situation. Will you become a Right To Work State?” You certainly have my vote.
