Endorsements

2016

Baltimore's police union, Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 3 endorsed Clarke for election in the Baltimore City Council race.[5]

Obviously, as law enforcement professionals, our focus of concern revolves around those issues that directly affect our membership including which candidates have expressed their continuing support of our difficult and often dangerous occupation and those whom, we believe, will work diligently with us to ensure the improved safety of the citizens of Baltimore.[6]
