State Police Endorse Rep. John Rogers

The following is a release from the office of Rep. Rogers.

“You bring a unique voice to Beacon Hill – one that bridges the partisan divide that occurs between political parties,” was the way the president of the State Police association described state Rep. John H. Rogers (D-Norwood) in the recent endorsement ceremony held in Boston.

Dana Pullman, president of the State Police Association of Massachusetts, representing more than 2,000 sergeants and troopers cited Rogers’ strong legislative experience and his “stated commitment to the public safety of the people.”

“John Rogers has always put the safety of his constituents first and has supported the Massachusetts State Police in our mission to protect and serve the public,” said Pullman. 

“John has written the laws that to help us prevent and reduce crime in his district and to provide safer neighborhoods all across Massachusetts,” Pullman said.

“I’m proud to accept the endorsements of these professionals,” said Rogers, who cited John Adams, the architect of the Massachusetts Constitution.

“Adams wrote in the Preamble that ‘the end of the institution of government is to secure the existence of the body politic, to protect it, and furnish the individuals who compose it with the power of enjoying in safety their natural rights and the blessings of life,’” Rogers cited from memory.

“We know that the one of the primary purposes of government is to protect its people and secure their liberties and I thank the police, state and local, for their perpetual vigilance and service to my constituents for so honorably helping to secure for the people the blessings of life,” Rogers said.

The general election is Tuesday, November 6.
