Pearce, a fifth generation Arizonan, is exploring launching his campaign for the U.S. House of Representative, District VI, a seat now held by pro-amnesty Congressman, Jake Flake.

Pearce, a retired 23 year Maricopa County Sheriff veteran, has in his various roles of service, championed numerous causes beneficial to Arizona’s residents. Pearce believes that Arizona deserves better than the pro-amnesty “sell out” of a portion of the current Arizona Congressional delegation, and that the flood of illegal immigrants with its many unsavory criminal side effects, must be stopped, before it is too late to stop the unwanted consequences.

Representative Trish Groe, will provide a brief legislative update, and comments on other matters, and will be joined by District 1 Representative and Paulden, Arizona resident, Andy Tobin.
