Tallahassee, FL – Today, the McCollum Campaign for Governor announced the Chiefs for Quality Law Enforcement Committee of Continuous Existence has endorsed Bill McCollum in the Republican primary for governor. This is the organization’s first endorsement in a gubernatorial race.

“It is a tremendous honor to have Florida Police Chiefs supporting my campaign to be our state’s next chief executive,” said Attorney General Bill McCollum. “As the group representing police chiefs from across Florida, the Chiefs for Quality Law Enforcement is a strong advocate for helping our law enforcement community to keep our cities and towns safe. As Governor, I will continue to pursue initiatives to protect children, seniors and families and put more criminals behind bars.”

“In the race for Governor, there is only one candidate who has the record and the character to continue making Florida a safer place to live, work and raise a family, and that candidate is Attorney General Bill McCollum,” said Chiefs for Quality Law Enforcement Chair and Florida Police Chiefs Association Executive Director, Amy Mercer “We look forward to working with Bill McCollum on initiatives to improve public safety.”
