FOP endorses Jack Conway

By Rebecca Feldhaus

Murray, KY – The Kentucky State Fraternal Order of Police today announced their endorsement of Attorney General Jack Conway in his bid for U.S. Senate. FOP President Michael "Spike" Jones says Conway has worked hard to close down prescription pill pipelines and child pornography. Jones says the FOP is stretched thin and cannot support republican candidate Rand Paul's approach to fighting drug abuse. This comes just days after Paul told the Associated Press the war on drugs was not "a real pressing issue."
