Jordan Cunningham understands the needs of law enforcement

In the 29 years I have spent working for California’s prisons, both as a prison guard and now as a correctional counselor, I have seen my union, the California Correctional Peace Officers Association endorse a number of candidates.

I can’t say I always agree with who they support, but I can say that they made a great decision in endorsing Jordan Cunningham for state Assembly.

Jordan’s experience, both in and out of the District Attorney’s Office, helps to give him a balanced approach to dealing with the criminal justice system.

Jordan is the only candidate for Assembly who understands the needs of law enforcement and will fight to keep our communities safe.

This is why the CCPOA endorsed Jordan, and why I am happy to give him my vote this year.

Patrick McPartlan, Atascadero
