Republican State Senate Candidate Brian Kelsey (R-Germantown) today announced the endorsement of the Memphis Police Association.

“Keeping citizens safe in their homes is something that I take very seriously,” said Kelsey.  “I am committed to ensuring that law enforcement officers possess the tools they need to keep our neighborhoods as safe as possible.”

Memphis Police Association President J.D. Sewell explained that Kelsey’s past record played a role in his receiving the endorsement.

“Brian Kelsey has proven that he is tough on crime,” said Sewell.  “Earlier this year, Kelsey helped in our fight to convince the Memphis City Council to reverse its previous decision and to hire qualified police officers from neighboring counties.  We trust Brian to look out for the needs of law enforcement agencies and to promote public safety while he serves us in the State Senate.”

Republican State Senate Candidate Brian Kelsey (R-Germantown) today announced that he will mark early voting by casting his vote early at the New Bethel M.B. Church in Germantown and greeting voters throughout the day.

“I always enjoy early voting because it is a great time to catch up with voters and discuss real issues they are facing,” said Kelsey.  “I plan to stay at the Germantown early voting site all day today and then rotate around the other early voting locations throughout early voting to make myself accessible to citizens of district 31.”
