The Florida Police Benevolent Association Big Bend Chapter has formally endorsed the re-election campaign of Tallahassee City Commissioner Dianne Wiliams-Cox.
The endorsement, released on Monday stated, “Over the last several years, Tallahassee police officers have faced great adversity. Now more than ever, our members need to support candidates for City Commission, who always have our backs. Throughout her tenure on the City Commission, Commissioner Diane Williams-Cox has always championed the issues that matter most to our officers and their families. She has supported law enforcement by ensuring that Tallahassee police officers have the necessary resources and staffing levels to serve the citizens of Tallahassee.”
Williams-Cox has consistently approved negotiated police union contracts, that were at times, passed with a 3-2 vote.
The police union noted that Williams-Cox “understands that investing in good contracts that provide wage increases and benefits for police officers is also a sound investment in public safety. Because of her proven track record and dedication to improving our working conditions and protecting our rights, the Big Bend Chapter of the Florida PBA is proud to endorse City Commissioner Diane Williams-Cox for re-election to the City Commission Seat, 5. We will ask our members, their families and all Tallahassee citizens, who support public safety, to join us in sending Commissioner Diane Williams-Cox back to the City Commission to serve another term.”
Williams-Cox currently faces three challengers: Tifany Hill, Joe Kalicki, and Bernard Michael Stevens II.
We need to pretty much double the size of our Law Enforcement.
