Marysville, CA - - Today, North State Republican, Dom Belza, made a major announcement in his campaign for the 3rd Assembly District when he announced receiving the endorsement of the California Coalition of Law Enforcement Associations (CCLEA). CCLEA represents more than 40 police associations statewide and 150,000 peace officers. The endorsement serves as a clear statement that law enforcement is backing Belza to replace Assemblyman James Gallagher who has also endorsed Belza.

“The California Coalition of Law Enforcement Associations proudly endorses Dom Belza because he’s a proven ally of our cause," said Craig Lally, CCLEA President. "He's knocked on doors, rallied communities, and done the grassroots work to have our back. We trust Dom and know that when he gets to Sacramento, he will be a tireless voice for the men and women working to keep California safe.”

This announcement is just the latest sign that Belza is the clear choice of law enforcement in the campaign for the 3rd Assembly District. Previously Belza announced a statewide coalition of law enforcement endorsements including:

“I'm honored to be law enforcement's choice in this election,” said Belza. "For far too long policies coming out of Sacramento have been hostile towards the men and women keeping our streets safe. When I'm elected to represent the people of this district, public safety will have a friend. Not only will I make sure we fight against anti-law enforcement policies, we will pass common-sense laws that will make our streets safer.”
