Big Bend PBA Endorses Ausley, Edwards in City Races

Richard Murphy, president of the Big Bend Chapter of the Florida PBA, which represents over 500 police officers in Tallahassee, recently announced the endorsement of Loranne Ausley for Mayor of Tallahassee and Talethia Edwards for City Commission Seat 3.

The group previously endorsed the candidacy of current city commissioner Dianne Williams-Cox.

The press release stated:

“On behalf of the dedicated and essential men and women, who help keep Tallahassee safe, I am proud to announce our endorsement of Loranne Ausley for Mayor of Tallahassee.  Throughout her tenure in the Florida State Legislature, Loranne Ausley has always championed the issues that matter most to our officers and their families. She has consistently defended the rights of law enforcement officers and advocated for more funding to keep police officers safe, while they are on patrol, protecting our communities.   She also understands that investing in law enforcement officers is a smart investment in public safety. We are equally proud to endorse Talethia Edwards for City Commission Seat 3. She will bring both a fresh voice to the City Commission and partner with us to advocate for law enforcement and enhance public safety. We ask our members, their families and fellow citizens to join us in electing these two outstanding public servants to keep Tallahassee moving forward, safer and stronger than ever before.”
