FOP County Election PAC Endorsements
The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #73 will conduct a news conference to announce its county endorsements for this year’s election Monday October 3rd, at 930am at 801 Court Street, Evansville, Indiana
On September 21, 2016 the Evansville FOP Lodge 73 Political Action Committee (PAC) held a Candidates Night for our local elections. We would like to thank all the candidates that attended for taking time out of their busy schedules to speak with our members, along with our friends and families.
We as a membership want our endorsements to mean something, not only to the candidates, but also the public in general. That is why we selected certain races that will have a direct impact on public safety in Vanderburgh County. Those races are the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Coroner, County Council, County Commissioners, the Judges of the Superior Court, and County Clerk. While the other races are vital to the everyday workings of our local government, they do not all have a direct impact on our membership’s role in public safety. Vanderburgh County is fortunate to have so many candidates that are well qualified for these offices in this election.
After hearing the candidates on September 21st, along with private interviews with the Council and Commissioner candidates, the Evansville FOP PAC is proud to endorse the following candidates:
Clerk of the Circuit Court: Carla Hayden- Republican
Coroner: Steve Lockyear- Democrat
County Council: Joe Keifer- Republican, Ed Bassmeier- Democrat, and Mike Goeble- Democrat
County Commissioner: Ben Shoulders- Democrat, Steven Melcher- Democrat
Judges of the Superior Court: Judge Pigman and Judge D’Amour
County Clerk: Shannon Edwards
Again, thanks to all the candidates that attended, and we wish everyone well on November 8th.
Chuck Knoll
FOP PAC Chairman
