Lee Earns Endorsement of Nevada Law Enforcement Associations

Representing more than 1,200 law enforcement personnel

LAS VEGAS — Today, Congresswoman Susie Lee (NV-03) announced that she has received the endorsement of the Nevada Association of Public Safety Officers (NAPSO) and the Nevada Law Enforcement Coalition (NLEC), which represents more than 1,200 law enforcement personnel across 20 separate associations of law enforcement and other public safety officers throughout Nevada.

“Congresswoman Susie Lee has proven to be a loyal advocate for law enforcement and first responders in southern Nevada. The Nevada Association of Public Safety Officers and the Nevada Law Enforcement Coalition are proud to endorse Congresswoman Lee for re-election,” said Rick McCann, Government Affairs Director and Former Executive Director of NAPSO. “We represent state and local law enforcement officers, correction officers, and civilian employees who need a strong and consistent advocate in Washington. Congresswoman Lee has a proven track record of championing legislation that supports our officers and their families. We can trust her to always have our backs.”

“Our brave law enforcement officers wake up every day and risk their lives to keep our families safe. I’m committed to being their voice in Congress and a partner they can depend on,” said Susie Lee. “I will continue fighting to ensure our police in southern Nevada have the funding they need to keep themselves and our communities safe. I am honored to receive this endorsement from the Nevada Association of Public Safety Officers and the Nevada Law Enforcement Coalition. We must have the backs of those who protect us.”

As the most bipartisan member of Congress and one of the most independent voices in Washington, Susie has been an outspoken advocate for Nevada’s law enforcement officers. Last year, she led legislation to invest in officer safety and tackle organized retail crime, and this year, she secured $1 million for an emergency command vehicle replacement. Susie also helped secure more than $660 million for Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) hiring grants, and $924 million for the Byrne JAG program, which provides federal funding for local law enforcement. Susie continues to support law enforcement by leading calls to stand up to China’s role in fentanyl production and leading legislation to stop fentanyl trafficking.
