Philly Mayoral Race: FOP Endorses Brown, Clarke Endorses Parker [View all]

Two Philadelphia mayoral candidates earned major endorsements on Thursday nearly a month before the primary.

The Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #5 announced their endorsement of Jeff Brown for mayor.

“Our brave men and women who risk their lives each and every day to protect our city deserve a Mayor that has their backs and support. Jeff Brown promises to work collaboratively with the Philadelphia police department to address violent crime in our great city and hire the necessary officers to get the job done,” FOP President John McNesby wrote. “Brown will also work tirelessly for livable wages and benefits for our rank-and-file police officers and first responders.”

McNesby credited Brown with pledging more funding for police recruitment, equipment and training across their specialized units.
