May 18, 2023

Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Barry Moore voted in support of H.Con.Res.40, a concurrent resolution expressing support for law enforcement officers and condemning efforts to defund or dismantle local law enforcement agencies. The concurrent resolution was introduced by Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) and Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ).

"Every day, thousands of men and women in blue kiss their families goodbye knowing it could be the last time," said Moore. "This week, I have heard the stories of several law enforcement officers who laid down their lives to protect others. These officers deserve to know we stand with them and condemn any effort to defund or dismantle police forces. I will always Back the Blue."
