Ron Johnson, R-Wis., for the November election, expressing their support for the incumbent over his anti-police opponent, Democrat Mandela Barnes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring these increasingly trying times, the over 1,400 men and women of the Milwaukee Police Association appreciate leaders like you who are willing to stand and be an advocate for Law Enforcement Professionals,\u201d the Milwaukee Police Association wrote in its endorsement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ronjohnsonforsenate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DOC092622-09262022121016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">letter<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Johnson has made his pro-law-enforcement stance quite clear throughout his time in Congress. The senator has advocated for \u201cbetter fund[ing]\u201d for police, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RonJohnsonWI\/status\/1558187818400333824\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">saying<\/a> it\u2019s dangerous for communities and police when law enforcement is \u201cunderstaffed or defunded.\u201d During National Police Week this past May, the Wisconsin senator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ronjohnson.senate.gov\/2022\/5\/sen-johnson-joins-sen-grassley-colleagues-in-commemorating-national-police-week\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stated<\/a>, \u201cWith crime reaching record highs across the country and the increase in officers killed on the job, the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities deserve our support. Their heroism keeps our families safe and we thank the officers for their service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ronjohnson.senate.gov\/2022\/9\/sen-johnson-calls-out-wisconsin-s-democrat-leaders-for-enabling-rise-in-crime\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spoken out<\/a> against the rise in crime perpetuated by \u201cradical left, soft on crime policies,\u201d stressing the need for strong police throughout Wisconsin. \u201cIt\u2019s because the policies, the rhetoric of the radical left is dispiriting law enforcement. Who is going to keep us safe? How can we expect to protect our citizens in our communities if we attack the police? If we propose defunding?\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p>Just last month, Sen. Johnson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox6now.com\/news\/sen-johnson-roundtable-border-security-milwaukee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hosted<\/a> a roundtable on U.S. border security, drawing attention to the failed border policies of the Biden administration and voicing his support for secure borders through law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Barnes \u2014 Johnson\u2019s opponent for the November election \u2014 has quite a track record of opposing law enforcement. \u201cDefunding the police only dreams of being as radical as a Donald Trump pardon,\u201d Barnes <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheOtherMandela\/status\/1281772919799128069\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweeted<\/a> in 2020, implying either his support for the \u201cdefund the police\u201d movement or at least his belief that this radical stance is non-extremist. Barnes has also been photographed holding a T-shirt that says \u201cAbolish ICE,\u201d an anti-law enforcement movement that supports dismantling border security in the name of protecting human rights. <\/p>\n<p>Despite his attempts to distance himself from \u201cdefund the police\u201d and other anti-law-enforcement movements, Barnes has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/story\/news\/investigations\/daniel-bice\/2022\/02\/15\/mandela-barnes-backs-away-two-unpopular-far-left-causes\/6785895001\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">received<\/a> multiple endorsements from groups that advocate for these policies. And when Barnes\u2019 campaign released a list of his law enforcement endorsements, two of the names were <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/09\/21\/mandela-barnes-was-just-caught-with-another-fake-police-endorsement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">removed<\/a>, with those police officers stating they never endorsed him.<\/p>\n<p>After seeing the rise in crime as a result of failed left-wing policies, Wisconsin law enforcers know that supporting a candidate like Barnes will not improve the safety of their state. That\u2019s why a more than 1,400-member police association enthusiastically backs Johnson \u2014 while his opponent fakes police endorsements.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Sophia is an intern at The Federalist and a student at Le Moyne College.
