Police Leaders for Community Safety Endorse Susie Lee for Re-Election


October 18, 2024

LAS VEGAS — Today, Congresswoman Susie Lee (NV-03), the most bipartisan member of Congress, received the endorsement of Police Leaders for Community Safety, a national nonpartisan board of prominent law enforcement leaders from across the country.

Lee is leading bipartisan legislation to support law enforcement with the tools they need to crack down on organized retail crime. Lee also recently secured $1 million for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Lee was recognized by Police Leaders for Community Safety for her commitment to supporting public safety, law enforcement, and upholding the rule of law. Lee has also been endorsed by Nevada law enforcement organizations that collectively represent more than 1,200 personnel.

“Susie Lee stands out as a strong advocate for the safety of our communities,” said Sue Riseling, Chair of Police Leaders for Community Safety. “Her support for policies that enhance policing, address violent crime and promote community safety aligns with our mission of fostering secure environments for all Americans.”

“Public safety is not a partisan issue; it is a fundamental human right that affects every American,” added Vice Chair Rick Myers. “We proudly support candidates like Susie Lee who recognize the importance of these issues and work to make us all safer.”

“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 Police Leaders for Community Safety.”

As one of the most independent voices in Washington, Lee has been an outspoken advocate for Nevada’s law enforcement officers. Lee 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. Lee 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.
