Democratic Party's nominee for United States Senate in the hopes of succeeding outgoing Republican Senator Jon Kyl, despite being registered as a political Independent.
This is what the United States needs and not cowards like Mitt Romney that evaded Vietnam with the idiotic ridiculous pretext and excuse of being a "Mormon Missionary" in France !! Or Bullshitters like Paul Ryan talking a lot of blather and nonsense to hide their poor plans of a Brutal Plutocracy.
Richard Carmona worked for the Pima County Sheriff's Department since 1986. He eventually worked his way up to deputy sheriff. He served as medical director of the county's police and fire departments. He was a peace officer leader of the SWAT division, with expertise in special operations and emergency preparedness, including weapons of mass destruction.
In 1999, Richard Carmona confronted an ex-convict who was assaulting someone else at a car accident. The criminal shot at Carmona, grazing his head, and the Deputy Sheriff shot back seven times, killing him. The deceased was an ex-convict who had shot and killed his own father that day. In 2000, he was honored at the National Association of Police Organizations TOP COPS award ceremony.
Born in New York City of Puerto Rican descent, and raised in Harlem. After dropping out of DeWitt Clinton High School at age 16, he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1967. While enlisted, he received his General Educational Development (GED), joined the United States Army Special Forces, became a combat-decorated Vietnam veteran, and began his career in medicine as a Special Forces medic.
After leaving active duty, Carmona attended the Bronx Community College of the City University of New York, where he earned his associate of arts degree in nursing. In 1977, he graduated from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), with a bachelor of science degree; in 1979, he received his medical degree from UCSF, where he was awarded the prestigious gold headed cane as the top graduate. In 1998, he earned a Master's degree in Public Health (M.P.H.) from the University of Arizona.

Joanne Goldwater, members of Goldwater family endorse Rich Carmona
Joanne Goldwater and members of the Goldwater family
endorsed Rich Carmona for U.S. Senate on Wednesday. Joanne is the oldest
daughter of late-Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater.
Family members Joanne Goldwater, CC Goldwater and Ty Goldwater announced their support for Carmona – a Special Forces veteran, Pima County Deputy Sheriff and 17th Surgeon General of the United States – on the first day of the general election campaign at Barry Goldwater Memorial Park.
"There’s no doubt that my dad viewed himself as a conservative, but he put serving Arizona over serving any ideology. I don't see the same from Congressman Jeff Flake. Congressman Flake has tried to claim the 'conservative' mantel, but my dad's brand of conservatism is not reflected by Flake or the modern-day Republican Party," said Joanne Goldwater.
Granddaughter CC Goldwater said, "Conservatives insist they believe in freedom, as long as it's not a woman's freedom to make her own health choices. Congressman Flake has voted to defund Planned Parenthood, block access to contraception and even partnered with CongressmanTodd Akin on a bill attempting to redefine rape."
"Our family has always believed in equality for all Arizonans," said Ty Goldwater. "My grandfather believed that no matter your race, ethnicity or sexual orientation, you’re no less deserving of your full constitutional rights. We need Arizona's next Senator to be committed to the same set of beliefs."
