Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5, which represents Philadelphia police officers and sheriffs, endorsed state Sen. Jimmy Dillon.
“Jimmy Dillon is the best choice for voters in the 5th Senatorial District who want safer communities,” said Lodge 5 President Roosevelt Poplar. “He has proven to be a reliable partner for first responders. He’s always on the front lines taking on the tough fights to help reduce crime and gun violence to make our neighborhoods safer. When we tell him what we need to do our jobs, he makes it happen without hesitation. Jimmy Dillon delivers for us so our police can do our jobs safely and effectively. He has earned our endorsement.”
“I am proud and honored to have received the endorsement of the Philadelphia police,” Dillon said. “These are the men and women who literally put it all on the line for us every day. And because they have our backs, I go to work every day making sure that we have theirs. We’ve done great work together and I look forward to continuing to work with these heroes to make Northeast Philly the safest community it can be.” ••
