Idaho Fraternal Order of Police Endorse Scott Bedke to be Idaho’s Next Lieutenant Governor
Boise, IDAHO – The Idaho Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) is backing Scott Bedke in his bid to become Idaho’s next Lieutenant Governor. With 30 local lodges, the FOP is the largest law enforcement organization in Idaho. FOP President Bryan Lovell says Bedke earned the endorsement because he stands strongly with law enforcement.
“The Idaho FOP has always seen strong support for law enforcement from Rep. Scott Bedke,” said Lovell. “He listens to our issues, is interested in helping public safety continue to improve and grow, and we are proud to support his bid for Lt. Governor.”
Bedke is the only candidate in the race for Lieutenant Governor who has consistently voted to fully fund law enforcement. Additionally, with his work on the Esto Perpetua task force, Bedke is working with law enforcement to clean up Joe Biden’s border mess by enforcing immigration laws and stopping the flow of drugs and gangs into Idaho.
“I back the blue and I’m honored the FOP is backing me to become Idaho’s next Lieutenant Governor,” said Bedke. “Under my conservative leadership, we pushed against the liberal agenda to defund the police. As long as I’m around, Idaho will always go to bat for the heroes who protect our communities.”
Bedke is a strong supporter of law enforcement; his campaign has rolled out new videos to celebrate this endorsement: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7ijGCMWX8qDYToJMg370eg
