Today, we held a press conference to directly address recent statements from District 7A candidate Ly Xinzhen Brown calling for the abolition of police and correctional facilities.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the members of the media who covered today’s event and helped keep our community informed on issues that impact every family across our area.
We also want to thank the local leaders and elected officials who stood with us today. Your presence sent a clear and unified message: public safety is, and must always remain, our top priority.

Calls to abolish law enforcement and eliminate our justice system do not reflect the values of District 7A. Keeping our neighborhoods safe requires steady support, practical solutions, and dedicated officers—not reckless policies that put the community at risk.
The FOP will never back down from advocating for our officers, our first responders, and the safety of every resident we are sworn to protect.
