Arizona Police Association Endorses Sheriff Mark Lamb for Congress in Arizona's 5th District

May 08, 20264 min read

Retired Sheriff Mark Lamb, candidate for the United States Congress in Arizona's 5th Congressional District, has officially received the endorsement of the Arizona Police Association.

The endorsement represents strong support from Arizona's law enforcement community and highlights Lamb's decades-long commitment to public safety, constitutional leadership, border security, and standing beside the men and women who serve on the front lines every day.

"For me personally, this endorsement carries tremendous meaning," said Lamb. "I wore the badge. I understand the sacrifices law enforcement officers and their families make. I know what it means to miss holidays, work long nights, and make split-second decisions in dangerous situations. To have the support of fellow law enforcement professionals is deeply humbling and something I will never take for granted."

The Arizona Police Association's endorsement adds to the growing momentum behind Lamb's campaign and reflects confidence in his ability to bring real-world law enforcement experience to Washington at a time when public safety, border security, and the rule of law remain top concerns for Arizona voters.

A Message from Mark Lamb

As someone who spent more than two decades in law enforcement, this endorsement carries special meaning for me.

I understand the sacrifices officers and their families make because my family lived them. We missed holidays. We worked long nights. We answered calls knowing we might be walking into dangerous situations.

The support of the Arizona Police Association is not something I take lightly. It represents the confidence of men and women who understand the realities of public safety and who have dedicated their lives to protecting others.

While I am grateful for this endorsement, I see it as a responsibility. If elected to Congress, I will continue fighting for safer communities, stronger border security, and the law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every day.

A Proven Record of Public Safety Leadership

Mark Lamb spent more than 20 years in law enforcement, including eight years serving as Sheriff of Pinal County, one of Arizona's fastest-growing counties.

During his tenure, Lamb became nationally recognized for his leadership on border security, public safety, constitutional rights, and the fight against illegal drug trafficking. He consistently advocated for stronger border enforcement, increased support for local law enforcement agencies, and policies that empowered officers to protect the communities they serve.

As sheriff, Lamb built a reputation for standing firm on issues impacting public safety while also being a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars. His practical approach to leadership earned respect both within Arizona and across the nation.

Throughout his career, he has remained a vocal advocate for the men and women who put on the badge each day and answer the call to protect others.

Bringing Law Enforcement Experience to Congress

As a candidate for Arizona's 5th Congressional District, Lamb has pledged to bring his firsthand law enforcement experience to Washington.

His priorities include securing the southern border, combating the flow of fentanyl into Arizona communities, supporting law enforcement agencies, protecting constitutional rights, and ensuring first responders have the resources and support needed to do their jobs effectively.

"At a time when too many politicians have chosen to attack, undermine, or abandon law enforcement, I have remained consistent," Lamb said. "I will always back the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our families, our neighborhoods, and our freedoms."

Lamb has also emphasized the importance of restoring respect for law enforcement and rebuilding trust between communities and the officers sworn to serve them.
