City of Bethlehem Fraternal Order of Police Star Lodge #20 votes unanimously to endorse Kevin Dellicker’s run for Congress.
HEIDELBERG TOWNSHIP, PA – The City of Bethlehem Fraternal Order of Police Star Lodge #20 voted earlier this month to endorse Kevin Dellicker’s campaign for Congress. The vote was unanimous.
“It is the belief of our body that his [Dellicker’s] personal sacrifices in service to his county and his support of public service, align with those of our membership,” said Robert Nichelson, President of Star Lodge #20. “We are confident in his ability and wherewithal to support the safety and wellbeing of those within the 7th Congressional District.”
Dellicker thanked the organization for its endorsement and reiterated his support for local police: “For our law enforcement offers, ‘safe communities’ isn’t a talking point. They work tirelessly and put their own lives on the line to serve and protect our communities and our families. I’m grateful for their support in this campaign, but even more grateful for what they do for us each and every day.”
Star Lodge #20 is the third local police organization to support Dellicker’s bid for Congress. The Bethlehem organization joins Queen City Lodge #10, representing City of Allentown police officers, and the Joseph J. Haggerty Memorial Lodge #40, which represents local Pennsylvania State Troopers.
The local FOP organizations that have announced their support of Dellicker are:
- Fraternal Order of Police Joseph J. Haggerty Memorial Lodge #40, which represents local Pennsylvania State Troopers
- Fraternal Order of Police Queen City Lodge #10, which represents City of Allentown Police Officers
- Fraternal Order of Police Star Lodge #20, which represents City of Bethlehem Police Officers
Dellicker has pledged throughout the campaign that, in Congress, he will work to help local first responders get the resources they need to do their jobs and will advocate for improvements in their family support infrastructure. And as someone who has worn a uniform in difficult circumstances, he will defend the profession from unwarranted criticism.
“Our local police officers deserve the benefit of the doubt,” said Dellicker. “They will get that from me.”
