Police union backs Klobuchar

The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association has endorsed DFL Senator Amy Klobuchar for a second term.

"Senator Klobuchar has always been a favorite with our membership because they know that she works tirelessly on issues important to them and she always makes public safety a top priority. She is seen as an aggressive advocate," said MPPOA Executive Director Dennis Flaherty.

The MPPOA represents more than 7,500 law enforcement and public safety officials throughout Minnesota.

Klobuchar is running for reelection. She faces Republican Kurt Bills in November.
