Arizona Conference of Police and Sheriffs and Arizona Correctional Peace Officers Association Endorse Fred DuVal for Arizona Governor’s Race

Two statewide public safety and employee organizations representing thousands of members have endorsed Gubernatorial Candidate Fred DuVal as the best candidate to Protect and Serve.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, September 16, 2014 – Arizona Conference of Police and Sheriffs (AZCOPS) with input from their more than one hundred local member associations, and Arizona Correctional Peace Officers Association (AZPOA) representing thousands of state employees, announce today their dual endorsement of Fred Duval for Governor of Arizona.

“Fred DuVal is committed to helping rebuild and fill the many vacancies in law enforcement and corrections left by the recession and massive budget cuts to these agencies. He has vowed to help us protect our hard-earned pensions and stop privatizing our state prisons and education. We believe he is the best man for the job.” said Ed Neidkowski, AZCOPS President.

“We need a Governor who will be looking out for the best interests of our state employees.” adds Tixoc Munoz, AZPOA Executive Director. “Our members care about quality of life; including healthcare, education and job security. Our members, and the people of Arizona, deserve representation that benefits the majority, not a select few.”

Both organizations will be working together to inform and educate their members about the importance of voting for pro public employee candidates like Fred DuVal in the upcoming November general election.

“I am honored to receive the endorsements of these well-respected organizations.” says DuVal. “I look forward to working closely with AZCOPS and AZPOA to improve public safety, law enforcement issues, and making sure our state’s sheriff's deputies and public employees are able to live comfortably after retirement. As governor, I will do my best to make sure their voices are heard.”
