Ron DeSantis on Immigration |
He is being supported by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who calls himself "America's toughest sheriff."
"I'm proud to endorse Ron DeSantis for Congress because I know he will stand up for the rule of law and get tough on illegal immigration," said Arpaio, who is the sheriff of Maricopa County.
He has become well known for an outspoken stance against illegal immigration, and for making prisoners wear pink underware.
DeSantis, an attorney, is running for the 6th Congressional District, which includes St. Johns, Flagler, Volusia and Putnam Counties. He already has national endorsements from Club for Growth and former U.N. ambassador John Bolton
