To the editor:

The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association (MPPOA) is the largest association representing public safety professionals in the State of Minnesota. We’re writing to urge your support and vote for Senator Gary Dahms in the Primary Election on August 9. The MPPOA wholeheartedly endorses Gary because he is an exceptional advocate for the citizens in the district. Dahms is a strong supporter of our public safety officials and first responders. He stands against attempts to defund and dismantle the police, and he promotes public safety legislation that keeps communities safe. He has supported innovative methods to recruit and retain officers. We are very grateful to Senator Dahms for his champion work on accountability in our justice system, in these challenging times. Please join us in supporting Sen. Dahms in the Primary Election on Aug. 9.
