Paul Babeu, the Republican candidate for Pinal County sheriff, brings backgrounds in both politics and law enforcement to his bid for the position that requires the skills in both.

His first elected office was as a city councilman in a small Massachusetts town at the age of 18.

As a Chandler police officer, Babeu became president of the agency's union, the Chandler Law Enforcement Agency. ...

The following year, Babeu went public with allegations that as a child he had been sexually molested by a Catholic priest. Several other victims soon came forward and began a lawsuit against the priest. Babeu also filed a lawsuit in early 2000, which was settled out of court.

"It was part of my healing and a part of me helping others," he said. "I knew what they were going through."
