BATTLE CREEK—Today the Michigan Fraternal Order of Police announced their endorsement of Mark Schauer (D-Battle Creek) in his campaign for Michigan's 7th Congressional district.

"The members of the Fraternal Order of Police recognize Mark's strong support of law enforcement during his tenure in the Michigan Legislature," said Judd Price, the organization's President. "He has repeatedly supported legislation that gives us the tools we need to do our job."

The Michigan Fraternal Order of Police is the oldest and largest law enforcement organization in the State, with over fifty local lodges and more than 11,000 members. It is part of a National Organization with more than 320,000 members.

"Mark Schauer has always used a common sense, no nonsense approach to keeping the people of Michigan safe," said Dave Hiller, Chairman of the group's Legislative Committee. "We are confident that he will use that same approach in Congress to represent the interests of Michigan's 7th District."

Sen. Schauer has fought for first responders throughout his career in the Legislature, making sure communities have adequate resources for vital public services. The Michigan Professional Fire Fighters and the Michigan Nurses Association have also endorsed his campaign for Congress.
