FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: Roger Salazar SACRAMENTO – The Democratic Party of Sacramento County (DPSC) today announced the group’s endorsement of Captain Jim Cooper in his bid to become the next Sheriff of Sacramento County.
“Jim’s strong background in law enforcement and sincere concern for declining morale in the department make him well suited for tackling the real challenges facing the County as has the strong support of the Democratic Party,” said Devin Lavelle, Communication Chair, DPSC.
“As a life-long democrat, I am honored to have the support of the Democratic Party of Sacramento County,” Cooper said. “I appreciate that the Party has recognized my strong law enforcement experience and my commitment to keeping Sacramento County neighborhoods safe.”
The DPSC joins a long list of organizations and local elected officials to endorse Cooper including the Sacramento County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association, Law Enforcement Managers’ Association, Sacramento Area Fire Fighters Local 522, National Latino Peace Officers Association, Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, California Asian Peace Officers Association, and the Sacramento Central Labor Council AFL-CIO, to name a few.
Cooper is running for Sheriff of Sacramento County in the June 2010 election. He has served the people of Sacramento County in the Sheriff's Department for more than 25 years. Cooper spent nine of those 25 years undercover taking down gangs and drug dealers and has been honored with a Bronze Star for Bravery. Today, he serves as Commander of the Sacramento Valley Hi-Tech Crime’s Task Force investigating Internet crimes against children and identity theft.
Cooper also serves as a founding City Council member for the City of Elk Grove. As Elk Grove’s first Mayor, Cooper set the tone for how the city conducts business today, with transparency, accessibility, regional partnership and public engagement as the cornerstones for a successful government.
