Hawaii's union of police officers has endorsed former governor Linda Lingle in her bid for U.S. Senate.
The State of Hawaii Organization of Police Officers (SHOPO) Board of Directors made the announcement on Monday morning.
"Governor Lingle has always had our police officers in her heart, and she advocated for us in every leadership position she has held - from Maui's Mayor to Hawaii's Governor. We know she will represent Hawaii's police officers and our brethren across the country well when we elect her to serve in Washington, D.C.," said SHOPO President, Tenari Ma'afala. "This is not just an endorsement. It is a full-on commitment from us to play a major role in Gov. Lingle's campaign for the next 10 months," Ma'afala added.
"Having the backing and support of 'Hawaii's Finest' has been a true honor for me since SHOPO's first endorsement of my campaigns in 2002," said former governor Linda Lingle. "I could always count on our outstanding uniformed officers, who put their lives on the line every single day, to share the same commitment to keeping all the people of Hawaii safe."
SHOPO previously endorsed Governor Lingle in her gubernatorial campaign in 2002 and her re-election campaign in 2006.
Lingle plans to travel throughout the state this week to visit with police officers at all of the SHOPO chapters including Maui, Hawaii Island and Kauai.
