Florida FOP Backs Pam Bondi in AG Race

The Florida Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) is backing Republican candidate former Assistant State Attorney Pam Bondi over Democratic Sen. Dan Gelber of Miami Beach in the race to be Floridas next attorney general.

The support of the Fraternal Order of Police is so important because I am committed to fighting criminals and protecting our families, our neighborhoods and our communities, said Bondi on Wednesday. Floridas sworn law-enforcement officers put their lives on the line every single day to keep our state safe, and I am honored to be their choice as Floridas next attorney general.

As an 18-year career prosecutor in the 13th judicial circuit and a strong advocate for justice, Pam has demonstrated a commitment to the citizens of Florida that exceeds politics as usual. We have seen firsthand her willingness to step up and fight for what is right, said Florida State FOP President James W. Preston whose organization has more than 20,000 members. We are confident the experience, remarkable leadership, knowledge and work ethic she will bring to the office of attorney general will serve our great state with integrity and honor. Florida deserves no less.
