This morning, we’re excited to announce that our #ThankACop radio announcement will be airing across the state of Minnesota! Because we believe it is important to highlight the important work our peace officers do to keep us safe, we decided to share our message with every Minnesotan. As I said in the announcement, even during this election season, I hope we can all agree that the work law enforcement officers do should be appreciated.
You can read the full press release below and listen to the ad here. Thank you for your support of the brave men and women who work day in and day out to make Minnesota the place we all call home.

Emmer Releases Radio Ad Recognizing MN Law Enforcement Otsego, MN – This morning, Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) released a radio ad to help recognize Minnesota’s peace officers and the risks they take everyday to keep communities throughout Minnesota safe. The ad will run across the state for the next week and asks Minnesotans to visit ThankMinnesotaPolice.com and leave a message of gratitude or encouragement for their local officers.
“I have been talking with peace officers across Minnesota over the past few months, and it saddens me to see that they are experiencing a lack of public support and low morale,” said Congressman Emmer. “Though words can never repay the sacrifices they and their families make for our communities, I believe it is important to support them in every way we can.”
Emmer added, “While we recognize we are in the heat of a campaign season, we chose to release the ad to the entire state of Minnesota more as a public service announcement than a political message. I feel strongly that public safety and the work of our brave men and women in uniform binds us all together and gives us a reason to thank them.”
