Dear Editor,
As a voter for 50 years, a mother of 3 and grandmother of 7, when I cast my votes in November, I will only vote for candidates who firmly support public safety. The candidate must not only have a history of voting to support the police but those endorsing the candidate must also reflect those values.
Candidate Jay Chen is endorsed by the same democrats who championed defunding the police at the expense of our public’s safety. He is a Bernie Sanders delegate who is a vocal supporter of defunding law enforcement.
Congresswoman Michelle Steel has earned bipartisan endorsements from law enforcement including Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva and Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes. With law enforcement fully behind her, I know she will do the right thing to keep our communities safe and support the blue.
Michelle Steel will have my vote.
Maureen Blackmun
