To Whom It May Concern:
Recently, I learned through Nixthe6.org that you have accepted money from a police, corrections, or private prison lobby/union. This is unacceptable.
As an elected representative, it is your responsibility to serve the families and individuals within your community, not the interest of police officers that pad your pockets. I demand that you stop accepting funds from law enforcement and commit to real, long-lasting reform that legitimately protects and serves ALL people.
Police money has no place in politics. I look forward to your public commitment to no longer accepting police union money.
Yours sincerely,
A Concerned Citizen

This could be because:
- Our definition of “cop money” is limited. We only count money that comes directly from law enforcement PACs, meaning that bundlers, money facilitated through fundraisers, and money from lobbyists or other orgs that support police are not included.
- State and local level campaign finance disclosures are reported through multiple different channels and different jurisdictions. The often low quality of the raw data, combined with differences in reporting requirements, means that some organizations or contributions may be missed.
