Law enforcement support continues for Putnam’s Commissioner of Agriculture campaign

BARTOW, Fla. – Fraternal Order of Police, Florida State Lodge (FOP) has officially endorsed Adam Putnam for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture. The FOP represents 20,000 professional active and retired law enforcement officers in the state of Florida and over 325,000 officers nationwide.

“The Fraternal Order of Police looks forward to Adam’s successful campaign and tenure as Commissioner of Agriculture. He has gained respect from those in his local community, and his dedication to supporting his fellow Floridians speaks well of his leadership and understanding of what being a representative of his constituents entails. The citizens of Florida will be well served with the outlook and positive approach he will bring to this office,” said James W. Preston, Florida State Lodge President.

The FOP is committed to improving the working conditions of law enforcement officers and the safety of those they serve through education, legislation, information, community involvement and employee representation.

“I would like to thank the members of the Florida State Fraternal Order of Police not only for their endorsement of my campaign for Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services, but also for their continued service to the people of Florida,” Putnam said. “For their selflessness and bravery, I am truly humbled to have earned their support.”

This continues the overwhelming support of Adam’s campaign from state law enforcement with previous endorsements from the Police Benevolent Association and 37 County Sheriffs across Florida.
