Congratulations to
Steve Shannon, our next Attorney General!
Steve Shannon, candidate for Attorney General, announced today the endorsements of 40 law enforcement and first response organizations and officials across the state, including the Virginia Police Benevolent Association, the Fairfax Coalition of Police, the Fairfax Deputy Sheriffs Coalition, the Virginia Professional Firefighters, seventeen city and county sheriffs, six Commonwealth's Attorneys, and twelve other leaders in Virginia's law enforcement community.
"I've known and respected Steve for a long time, as I've followed his career as a tough prosecutor, a strong advocate for children, and a steadfast supporter of law enforcement officers," said Beth Arthur, Arlington County Sheriff. “As a prosecutor and a legislator, he has worked closely with the law enforcement community to crack down on the criminals who threaten Virginia's kids, and to keep our towns safe for families. Steve is experienced, committed, and focused, and I know that as Attorney General he will be a strong leader for Virginia's public safety community."
"I am humbled and honored to have the support of these brave men and women," Shannon said. "Our law enforcement officers put their lives at risk every day in order to keep our children and our communities safe. I have spent my entire career, as a criminal prosecutor and a legislator working with Virginia law enforcement to make Virginia safer. As Attorney General I will continue to make sure that they have the resources and tools they need to crack down on gangs, drugs, and Internet predators who target our kids."
