Despite being California’s 12th largest city, Riverside in some ways still operates like a small town, and that extends to politics.

APPLE VALLEY • Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose tough stance on criminals and illegal immigration placed him in the national spotlight, will be in Apple Valley to endorse Republican Phil Liberatore’s race for the 8th Congressional District.
Arpaio, 79, dubbed “America’s Toughest Sheriff,” will speak at a public rally at 11:30 a.m. on May 5, at Civic Park near Town Hall, a Liberatore spokesman said by phone.
