Chicago’s Police Officers Endorse Paul Vallas for Mayor

Vallas is the only Mayoral Candidate committed to providing the tools and resources needed to protect Chicago families

Paul Vallas has earned the endorsement of the brave men and women of Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police for his tireless dedication to improving the safety of the city’s communities, families, and officers.

“I welcome and accept the endorsement of Chicago’s finest, men and women of the FOP who sacrifice their lives day and night to make our city safer,” said Vallas.

“Reducing crime and making Chicago safer are my top priorities. As Mayor, I will bring our police and community together, united as partners, to make every community safe.

As the father and husband of first responders, Vallas understands the challenges that officers face on a daily basis.

He’s the only mayoral candidate who is committed to providing officers with the tools and resources needed to protect Chicago’s neighborhoods from rising crime, while also embracing community based anti-violence solutions.

 

Paul Vallas is an internationally renowned leader and expert administrator with a plan to tackle the issues Chicagoans care about most including getting crime under control; empowering parents to decide what education is best for their children (regardless of income or ZIP code), and putting Chicago back on solid financial footing by making sound investment decisions and budgeting sustainably.
