Senator Pat Toomey has won the endorsement of the AFL-CIO’s police union.

The International Union of Police Associations (I.U.P.A.) announced that they’re backing the Senator.

“You [Senator Toomey] have always been a strong advocate for our nation’s first responders,” IUPA President Sam Cabaral stated. “While many elected officials drape themselves in the mantle of ‘law and order,’ you have stood out as a steadfast supporter of the men and women who provide for public safety. It is not a campaign slogan for you, but a promise — a promise you have always kept.”

“I am honored to receive the support of the I.U.P.A. and I will continue to work tirelessly to support our men and women in uniform,” said Senator Toomey. “Every day, law enforcement officers and first responders selflessly put their lives on the line to make communities in Pennsylvania and across the country safer for our families. They embody public service and I am proud to be their voice in Washington.”

Sen. Toomey is running for his second term this year.
