TAMPA, Fla. – Today, the Florida Fraternal Order of Police announced their endorsement of Senator Rick Scott for re-election to the United States Senate.

Senator Scott has secured the endorsement of major law enforcement groups, including the Florida Police Chiefs Association, the Florida Association of State Troopers, the Hispanic Police Officers Association, and  60 Florida Sheriffs across the state. To date, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell does not have a single law enforcement official or group supporting her socialist campaign.

In a letter sent to their membership and made public, Florida FOP President Steve Zona said, “The Office of U.S. Senator is extremely important to the men and women of public safety. Great leadership lends to a prosperous and safe community. The Florida State Lodge Fraternal Order of Police, representing more than 24,000 law enforcement officers and the favorable recommendation of the men and women of the Fraternal Order Of Police proudly announces our endorsement of Rick Scott for U.S. Senate.

“The Fraternal Order Of Police have worked hand in hand with Senator Scott and have given him our continued faith in his dedication to his community and to the men and women of law enforcement. Senator Scott has shown an understanding of the dangers law enforcement officers face and has welcomed conservative common sense solutions to problems. Through his leadership and actions Senator Scott has restored the faith of Florida’s police officers.

“We believe in Senator Scott and there is no doubt that he will continue to serve our state and his constituents fairly, and with a focus on safety and prosperity.”

On the endorsement, Senator Rick Scott said, “The brave men and women in law enforcement put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe. They are the ones who make Florida the best place in the country to live and raise a family, and I am committed to ensuring they have the resources and support they need to do their jobs. Thank you to the Fraternal Order of Police for your strong endorsement and unwavering support in my re-election campaign.”
