"On behalf of the 11,000 active and retired sergeants of the New York City Police Department, it is my pleasure to offer our endorsement of your candidacy for election to the 18th Congressional District on November 6th." - Edward D. Mullins, President of the Sergeants Benevolent Association. 

Dear Congresswoman Hayworth,

On behalf of the 11,000 active and retired sergeants of the New York City Police Department, it is my pleasure to offer our endorsement of your candidacy for election to the 18th Congressional District on November 6th.

The Sergeants of the NYPD take great pride in the brand of Frontline Leadership we provide for our nations's greatest city. Above all else, we respect the rule of law and we believe very strongly that the job of ensuring the safety of our fellow citizens is perhaps the most sacred responsibility in our society.

We feel that you have exemplified that responsibility since your election to Congress. Your commitment and dedication to the law enforcement community and homeland security is praiseworthy and as such, it is my pleasure and honor to pass along our official endorsement for your election this year.

Best of luck throughout the campaign - Edward D. Mullins, President of the Sergeants Benevolent Association.
