Lewis Joins Vice President Pence at “Cops for Trump” Event in Minneapolis

September 24th, 2020

MINNEAPOLIS — Today, U.S. Senate candidate Jason Lewis joined Vice President Mike Pence and Ivanka Trump at a “Cops for Trump” listening session in Minneapolis. Lewis tore into the reckless defund the police movement and how critical it is for communities to support police officers and ensure public safety in our communities.

“I didn’t know much about cops until I married one. But I learned firsthand about the sacrifices they make and the risks they take to protect our communities and keep them safe. Unfortunately, Minneapolis is now the epicenter of the radical defund the police movement and we’re already starting to see the consequences. This far-left anarchist agenda has left our city in chaos, and average citizens are the ones paying the price. My opponent Tina Smith said police play a ‘dangerously wrong’ role in society and is calling to ‘reimagine’ policing, and Minneapolis residents are seeing firsthand what you get when you reimagine and defund police. It’s time to restore common sense and support the men and women who work tirelessly and put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe,” said Lewis. “Thank you to Vice President Pence, Ivanka Trump, and the Trump campaign for coming to Minnesota to listen to our law enforcement community and show support for our police.”

Lewis has been endorsed by several law enforcement groups across Minnesota. See endorsement letters and pledges below:
