Pekau for Congress has issued the following press release:
October 19, 2022 - The Illinois Fraternal Order of Police has announced their endorsement of Keith Pekau for Congress in IL-06.
In endorsing Pekau, Illinois FOP State Lodge President Chris Southwood, wrote:
As a decorated combat veteran, you understand what loyalty and commitment means and have demonstrated your dedication to serving your community, state, and country. The Illinois Fraternal Order of Police stands behind you because of your steadfast and ardent support of the public safety profession. We know we can count on you to continue supporting the men and women who wear the uniform and are confident you will work hard to ensure the safety of, not only our public safety professionals, but also of the citizens of the 6th Congressional District.
Pekau responded to the endorsement, saying:
I am honored to have the confidence of our law enforcement community and the endorsement of the FOP. As mayor, I have demonstrated my commitment to working with police to keep our streets safe. I know firsthand that strong communities prioritize public safety and work with law enforcement to provide it. In the U.S. House - unlike my opponent who co-sponsored anti-police legislation - I will continue my advocacy for policies that advance public safety and build the relationships we need to re-establish peace, security, and justice for all under the law.
