Ohio\u2019s largest law enforcement union endorsed Republican Sen. Jon Husted for reelection Tuesday, after previously endorsing his opponent, former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.<\/p>\n

The Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio (\u201cOhio FOP\u201d) along with four other labor organizations have switched their support to Husted this cycle, according to a press release from the Republican\u2019s campaign sent to the Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/p>\n

While the Ohio FOP endorsed Brown for reelection in 2012, the former lawmaker repeatedly opposed stronger border security measures and alienated Ohio\u2019s law enforcement community, according to the press release.<\/p>\n

Ohio FOP President Jay McDonald noted that the endorsement is for candidates who have supported law enforcement and fought back on the \u201cwar on police.\u201d (RELATED:\u2018Moderate\u2019 Democrat Ohio Senate Candidate Sherrod Brown Too Cozy With Anti-Cop Left, Law Enforcement Says)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not asking for anything revolutionary – we want candidates with a proven commitment to supporting law enforcement and standing with us on issues that help our members keep their communities safe,\u201d McDonald said in the press release.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Brown did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s request for comment. Spokespersons for Husted and the Ohio FOP did not immediately respond to requests for additional comment. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m honored to earn the FOP\u2019s endorsement. They know what\u2019s at stake because they\u2019ve lived the consequences of Sherrod Brown\u2019s record: during his 32 years in Washington, Brown voted eight times to fund sanctuary cities and supported amnesty for 11 million illegal immigrants. I\u2019ll always stand with our police, secure the border and fight for the safety of Ohio families,\u201d Husted said in the press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cOhio\u2019s law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to keep our communities safe, and they deserve leaders who have their backs,\u201d the senator added.<\/p>\n

Brown previously faced controversy with the Ohio FOP after a tweet he made claiming that Columbus police shot and killed black sixteen-year-old girl Ma\u2019Khia Bryant in 2021. However the post did not mention that body camera footage showed that the girl apparently lunged at two women with a knife and ignored calls to \u201cget down\u201d prompting an officer to fatally shoot her.<\/p>\n

\u201cSherrod Brown spent 32 years in Washington defending defund the police lunatics and giving criminal illegals taxpayer- funded benefits. Brown puts Ohioans last, and he will be rejected again,\u201d Nick Puglia, National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Regional Press Secretary said in a statement to the DCNF.<\/p>\n

\u201cLaw and order should be at the top of everyone\u2019s mind these elections. It\u2019s what drives society. It\u2019s what makes people feel safe. It\u2019s something that affects everyone,\u201d Eric Delbert, a sergeant for 32 years in a central Ohio suburb, previously<\/span> told the Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/p>\n

Despite having endorsed Democrats such as Brown in the past, FOP endorsed Republican now-Vice President JD Vance in his successful run for Ohio\u2019s open Senate seat in 2022. The group did not endorse a candidate in the 2024 election during which Brown lost reelection to Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno.<\/p>\n

Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine appointed Husted to replace Vance in January 2025.<\/p>\n

Husted has also received endorsements from the National Border Patrol Council and 75 Ohio sheriffs according to the press release.<\/p>\n
