WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott signed Heritage Action’s Police Pledge to show his unwavering support for America’s law enforcement as the radical Left continues to push efforts to defund the police.

Senator Rick Scott said, “Law enforcement officers across America risk their lives every day to keep people safe. As Governor, and now as Senator, I will always do everything I can to support our brave men and women in uniform. Stripping our law enforcement of the resources necessary to protect our communities would do nothing to keep Americans safe. In fact, this would endanger our communities more. I won’t let the radical Left use the crimes of a few bad actors to demonize good, hard-working police officers. We must stand up for those fighting every day for our safety.”

Jessica Anderson, President, Heritage Action for America said, “Floridians and all Americans are thankful for elected officials like Senator Scott for taking a strong stand for our nation's law enforcement and signing Heritage Action's Police Pledge. As the Left abandons the men and women keeping our communities safe, it is more important than ever for our leaders and citizens to support law enforcement officers and oppose mob rule. I urge every member of the Senate to pledge to support our police officers and oppose any movement to defund them.”
