I'm honored to announce that I have received endorsements from two Fraternal Order of Police (F.O.P.) chapters: the Illinois F.O.P. and Waukegan Lodge #5. The F.O.P. represents sworn law enforcement officers who dedicate their lives to protecting our communities.

As I've traveled across Lake County, attending community events in every town, I've been impressed by our local law enforcement officers engaging with the community and keeping us safe. They do so much we may not always notice, like deescalating situations before they become crimes and visiting classrooms to teach children about safety.

I couldn't be more honored to have the endorsement of the men and women who risk their lives every day to keep us safe.
