Election Day Reminder

Dear Members: 

In political races across Arizona, many AZCOPS members and organizations have a lot at stake in Tuesday's election. Some are trying to shore up support in local positions of power, while others are trying to defeat incumbents who have turned their backs on AZCOPS members and their families. 
 
Your vote really can make a difference in many of these races. Before you go to the polls, take a look at the endorsements below and share them with your friends, relatives and co-workers. 
 
On this Election Day, remember that all decisions impacting our jobs are ultimately made by politicians at one level of government or another. Our involvement in the political process is essential to improving working conditions in our state. Together, we can do it! Please vote Tuesday.
 
Stay Safe,
 
Larry Lopez, AZCOPS President
