The Fraternal Order Of Police Endorses Dave Min
IRVINE, CA — Today, the Fraternal Order of Police is announcing their endorsement of Dave Min for California’s 47th Congressional District. FOP is the fourth public safety organization to support Min, following endorsements from the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs (ALADS), Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL), and Police Officers Research Association of California (PORAC), the state’s largest police association. Dave Min is trusted not only by law enforcement, but also teachers, school employees, labor, gun prevention advocates.
“Dave Min is public safety’s choice for CA-47,” said Roger Hilton, President of the California Fraternal Order of Police. “Sen. Min has always ensured that law enforcement and first responders have the tools they need to keep Southern California’s families safe and secure. We know he’ll be our advocate in DC, and we look forward to working with him.”
The California FOP represents over 20,000 law enforcement officers. Founded in 1915, the FOP seeks to increase the efficiency of the law enforcement profession and thus more firmly to establish the confidence of the public in the service dedicated to the protection of life and property. Backed by the FOP and PORAC, Dave Min is now endorsed by each of Orange County’s law enforcement departments. Public safety officers trust Dave Min to continue the work he’s done in the State Senate to keep our families safe and our communities secure.
This endorsement builds on Senator Min’s incredible momentum in his campaign to keep this seat Blue. Last week, Min received the coveted endorsement of the Los Angeles Times. He is also endorsed by outgoing Rep. Katie Porter, as well as the California Democratic Party, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the National Education Association, the American Federation of Teachers, California Environmental Voters, and over 150 local, state, and federal officials. Min is the unanimous choice of organized labor in this race, as he is the only candidate to receive support from national, statewide, and local unions, and he is the only candidate endorsed in this race by the California Labor Federation or the AFL-CIO. A full endorsement list is available here.
