DISTRICT 5 “It is an honor to receive the endorsement of the Police Benevolent Association. Law enforcement fights wars every day keeping our children, schools, neighborhoods and communities safe. I would support a 25 years retirement for law enforcement with enthusiasm. Thank you for your service.”
DISTRICT 7 “I am proud to have received the endorsement of the PBA. The PBA has a long history of being a critical advocate for rank and file law enforcement officers. I believe with the PBA's assistance we can make the dream of a 25 year retirement plan for law enforcement officers a reality. The PBA has also been an invaluable resource for me in helping to assist law enforcement officers who have been mistreated due to politics.”
DISTRICT 9 “I am proud to receive the endorsement of the North Carolina Police Benevolent Association. In my first year as a State Senator, I have worked closely with the public and law enforcement representatives to fight criminal activity. From the officers who patrol our streets, the investigators who solve crimes to the guards who work at the prisons. They all play a vital role in keeping our neighborhood safe. The NC PBA also plays a role in assisting law enforcement officials and support personnel by providing legal services and advocating changes to improve the quality of work life for people employed in all aspects of criminal justice. Working together we can make our community a safer place.”

I intend to continue to support North Carolina’s finest with fair wages and providing the proper equipment needed to keep our citizens safe on our streets and in our neighborhoods. Reducing crime and keeping repeat offenders out of our communities is a top priority of mine. When I go to Raleigh I will be attentive and supportive of law enforcement.”
DISTRICT 24 “I want you to know how much I appreciate the endorsement of the Police Benevolent Association.

The PBA has the best interests of its members at heart and works diligently on their behalf in North Carolina. As a state senator, I will consider it a privilege to work with the PBA in improving the law enforcement profession in every respect. They are dedicated to us, the citizens of North Carolina 24/7, and I want to be there for them as they are without exception for the public.”
DISTRICT 46 "The endorsement from the Police Benevolent Association is indeed a great honor. I have always had the greatest admiration for our police, because they give of themselves to fulfill the mission of preserving our property, protecting our safety and our lives, and defending us against those who would break our laws. Our nation and our freedoms are based upon a structure of laws which, if not protected, would cause those freedoms to collapse and would put our society at risk. Police protect those laws and by doing so, give this nation strength and purpose and provide our citizens the rights and privileges we all hold dear."
DISTRICT 47 “I appreciate the endorsement for my re-election as State Senator by the PBA. To those who are active and on the job 24 hours a day, and to those who have retired, thank you. You have put yourselves in harms way for our protection. I would hope that House and Senate members would always recognize the service that you provide. And to you all, I will always be grateful.”
DISTRICT 49
DISTRICT 50 “To me the PBA endorsement means that those who work on the front lines of protecting our society have the faith in me to give them the resources and tools that they need to do their job correctly. I view it as a pact between law enforcement and I, to listen to and analyze how, by working together, we can best serve and protect the public.” |
