Austin's reply to endorsement:
"I am honored to be endorsed by law enforcement, representing over 24,000 officers. I will always stand by our police, correctional officers, and other first responders.
My journey has brought me to a place of understanding that working in partnership with law enforcement and the community is the best way to reduce crime. We cannot just treat the symptoms, we must treat the cause, which is why I believe in early intervention as well as backing law enforcement personnel, from those patrolling our streets to those facilitating our prisons.
