State FOP President Kevin Ahlbrand and Attorney General Jay Nixon spoke and took questions from the public this morning in the Boone County Commission Champers in the Roger B. Wilson Government Building, a press release from Nixon’s campaign said.
“The State FOP cited Atttorney General Nixon’s strong record of cracking down on crime, protecting consumers and supporting law enforcement as the basis for its endorsement,” the press release said.
In past endorsements, the FOP has shown partisan independence, such as with the endorsement of Matt Blunt for Governor in 2004, the release said.
