Arizona Police Association Backs Gallego Over Lake in Senate Race

Despite endorsing Trump, the union supports Democrat Ruben Gallego, citing his record on law enforcement funding and reforms.

The Arizona Police Association endorsed Ruben Gallego for the U.S. Senate, shifting support from Kari Lake, whom they backed in 2022.
The union praised Gallego for securing over $168 billion in police funding and his military background.
Gallego has called for practical police reforms and increased resources, opposing a costly consent decree for Phoenix police.
Lake's campaign criticized Gallego, accusing him of vilifying law enforcement and supporting open borders.
Polls show Gallego leading Lake by an average of six points, with the endorsement potentially boosting his campaign.
