Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is touting a letter from a majority of county sheriffs in Pennsylvania that endorsed Trump, saying they are “confident in his leadership and ability to safeguard our country.” The letter was signed by 49 of the 67 county sheriffs — including Indiana’s Robert E. Fyock and sheriffs in Armstrong, Butler, Cambria, Clarion, Clearfield, Somerset and Westmoreland counties.
The sheriffs wrote that Trump is the best candidate to support law enforcement and secure the border. “As elected law enforcement officers in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we consistently hear two messages from our constituents and neighbors: that they want safe communities for their families and children, and that they oppose radical defund-the-police agendas by career politicians,” the letter read. They signed on as “proudly standing with President Donald J.
Trump and wholeheartedly” endorsing his candidacy. “Even before he was ever a candidate for office,” the sheriffs stated, “Donald J. Trump has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with police and law enforcement.
He is the only candidate who has supported and continues to support law and order, law enforcement, and our duty to serve our communities and keep them safe.” They went on to say “this is most evident with our southern border. Immigration is not only a border-state issue.
Under President Trump, we had a secure border and proper enforcement of our immigration laws. World leaders respected.
