NAPO Press Release
WASHINGTON, DC - An overwhelming majority - 94% of candidates endorsed by the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) in 1998 won their elections. Of the 163 NAPO-endorsed candidates that remained after the 1998 primaries, only nine lost their elections.
"Going into the 106th Congress next year, NAPO is looking forward to working with the winning candidates that we endorsed throughout the 1998 campaign cycle. While we lost a few great friends to law enforcement, including Senator Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL), the 106th Congress overall looks very favorable for law enforcement," said Robert T. Scully, NAPO’s executive director.
