Lee. “I’m proud to have the endorsement of the Nevada
Association of Public Safety Officers and the Nevada Law Enforcement Coalition, and I will keep fighting for the interests of our law enforcement officers in Congress.”

“The Nevada Association of Public Safety Officers and the Nevada Law Enforcement Coalition are proud to endorse Congresswoman Susie Lee.
