U.S. Representative Kelly Armstrong today announced he has earned the endorsement of the North Dakota Fraternal Order of Police (NDFOP) for North Dakota Governor. This endorsement underscores Armstrong’s commitment to supporting law enforcement personnel, recognizing the significant sacrifices of these brave men and women and their families.

“Kelly Armstrong has consistently demonstrated his support for our law enforcement. Whether it’s enhancing officer safety, improving working conditions, or ensuring our voices are heard in North Dakota and Washington, Kelly stands with us. We trust his leadership to guide North Dakota in a direction that honors and supports our law enforcement community, and it is why we proudly endorse him in the race for governor.”

-Mitch Wardzinski, President of the NDFOP

“I am deeply honored to have earned the endorsement of the North Dakota Fraternal Order of Police. Our law enforcement officers stand on the front lines of protecting our communities and they deserve unwavering support and resources. It is the only job in America where a routine traffic stop is not routine until it’s over. As Governor, I pledge to always support our police and ensure they are respected and protected. These brave men and women and their families have my word, I will never allow far-left extremists to undermine the integrity and valor of those who selflessly walk the thin blue line.”

-Kelly Armstrong

Throughout his public service, Armstrong has been a vocal advocate for law enforcement, sponsoring and supporting legislation that aligns with the needs and priorities of the police community. Notable bills Kelly has championed include:

  • H.R. 354 (LEOSA Reform Act), which enhances the rights of qualified law enforcement officers to carry concealed weapons in various public venues.
  • H.R. 743 (Protect and Serve Act), proposing severe penalties for those targeting law enforcement officers with violence.
  • H.R. 3170 (HELPER Act), facilitating home loan benefits for first responders.

Additionally, Armstrong has supported important initiatives such as the Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act and the Protecting First Responders from Secondary Exposure Act, aimed at safeguarding the health and well-being of those in the line of duty.
