Pat Meehan, the Republican in the 7th Congressional District race, was endorsed by 19 police chiefs today.

"I am honored to receive the endorsement of my law enforcement colleagues," said Meehan in a release. "During my tenure as D.A. and U.S. Attorney, I have worked closely with police chiefs from throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania to combat crime, get illegal guns off our streets, and make our communities safer.  I look forward to building on the numerous partnerships and initiatives we created and continue my efforts to keep our streets safe."
