California Police Chiefs Association Endorses

BAKERSFIELD, CA – Senator Melissa Hurtado's re-election campaign is proud to announce the endorsement of the California Police Chiefs Association (CPCA) PAC in her bid to continue representing the 16th Senate District.

“Public safety is the foundation of a strong republic. Our families, businesses, and communities cannot thrive without it. As the threats facing our communities change, I believe we have a responsibility to make sure the men and women who protect us—and the chiefs who lead them—have the resources, training, and tools they need to keep us safe. They risk their lives to protect ours, and our support for them must be just as strong. I’m honored to earn the endorsement of the California Police Chiefs Association and proud of what we’ve accomplished together.” said Senator Melissa Hurtado.

Founded in 1966, the California Police Chiefs Association advocates for municipal police leaders and law enforcement departments state wide. Its membership delivers public safety services to over 26 million California residents.

“Senator Hurtado has been a consistent partner to California law enforcement, and she’s always willing to listen when police chiefs bring forward public safety concerns. We’ve worked with Senator Hurtado for years, and we know she understands the challenges our officers and communities are facing and CPCA is happy to endorse Senator Hurtado.” said Sean Thuilliez, President of CA Police Chiefs Association

Senator Hurtado is running for re-election to the 16th Senate District. The California Police Chiefs Association joins a growing list of public safety organizations that have endorsed Senator Hurtado, including the California Association of Highway Patrolmen, California Professional Firefighters, and CAL Fire Local 2881.
