Pinal County Sheriff 2017–2024; Trump-endorsed 2025-11-04 for AZ-05 R primary (Biggs's open seat); House Freedom Fund + Club for Growth endorsed. NO congressional voting record — scored from 2024 Senate-campaign issues page, 8-yr Sheriff record (anti-SB1625 red-flag, COVID-mandate refusal, drop-box surveillance), and current AZ-05 campaign. DEVIATION: TrackAIPAC records $2,000 from AMP pro-Israel PAC — fails the foreign-policy q3 'never took' standard. SECONDARY FLAG: May–Jun 2026 reporting on alleged sexual misconduct / threats / racist messages prompted Schweikert call to withdraw; Trump weighing endorsement pullback. Still on ballot 2026-06-04. AZ statutory primary is Aug 4, 2026 per AZ SOS; Ballotpedia/Club for Growth pages list July 21 — verify final date.
