American Fraternal Order of Police Backs Amanda Makki in Pinellas County

Today, the Fraternal Order of Police announced their endorsement for Amanda Makki, Republican primary candidate. With radical ideas like defunding our police, Florida police officers want to be sure they will be fully funded and supported by their representative.

The Florida Fraternal Order of Police’s mission is “to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the State of Florida, to inculcate loyalty and allegiance to the United States of America.” The Florida State Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police currently serves nearly 20,000 members in 100 local lodges across the State. Pinellas Co. Lodges 10 and 43 overwhelmingly chose to support Amanda Makki’s candidacy for Congress to stand for law and order.

“Our communities need protection. With frightening rhetoric to assaulting our law enforcement, both physically and financially, Pinellas County officers need a strong voice to advocate for their integrity. Our police officers, and their loved ones, have my word to stand for law and order. They can count on me to be a loud voice of protection for them in Washington and here at home,” said Makki.

Amanda has outraised all her primary opponents with over $1 million and is currently leading in the polls by 8 points. She is one of only 23 candidates nationwide to have earned NRCC Young Guns “Contender Status”, and her grassroots movement has amassed a vast list of conservative endorsements, including:

• House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy
