Calvert Signs Police Pledge | 2020-09-15 | 2020 | 2020-09 | Republican | House | CA | Ken Calvert | C000059 | calvert.house.gov | calvert | https://calvert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) signed Heritage Action's "Police Pledge", a pledge that offers unwavering support for America's police officers and commits to opposing any legislative efforts to "defund the police." "I am proud to sign the Police Pledge because keeping my constituents safe is my top priority in Congress," said Rep. Calvert. "I have already voted against misguided efforts by House Democrats to defund our police, and I will continue to oppose their attempts to remove law enforcement officers off the streets of our neighborhoods. The men and women who put themselves in danger after taking an oath to protect and serve are heroes that we must support." Below is the full text of the Police Pledge: A lawful society—free from mob rule and violent insurrection—is not possible without Law Enforcement. Police Officers have chosen a noble profession. They dedicate their lives to upholding the law and protecting the sacred rights of their fellow citizens. As a profession, they deserve support and respect. I stand with America's Police and pledge to oppose any bill, resolution, or movement to "Defund the Police." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-28T00:28:51Z |
