WASHINGTON— House Republicans passed H. Con. Res. 96, a resolution introduced by Rep. Zachary Nunn (R-Iowa) expressing support for the men and women of law enforcement and recognizing the sacrifices officers make to protect communities across America.

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) and Rep. Zachary Nunn released the following statements in support of the resolution:

“While Democrats spent years demonizing police officers and pushing soft-on-crime policies, Republicans are standing with the men and women who put on the badge and keep our communities safe,” Chairwoman McClain said. “They protect our families, remove deadly drugs from our streets, and hold the line between order and chaos. I am proud to back the blue because Americans deserve safe neighborhoods and leaders who respect the people risking their lives to protect them.”

“It shouldn’t be controversial to stand with the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe,” Rep. Nunn said. “But from the ‘defund the police’ radicalism to sanctuary city policies that prevent cooperation with federal law enforcement, too many politicians have put ideology ahead of public safety — and Americans are paying the price. This Police Week, the House sent a clear message: we back the blue. I'm proud to have led that effort."

The resolution recognizes the sacrifices law enforcement officers make every day to protect their communities and maintain public safety. It also condemns radical, anti-police rhetoric and policies that undermine law enforcement and make communities less safe.
