Ray Hunt, HPD Officer and President of the Houston Police Officers’ Union, representing more than 5,000 men and women in uniform who stand between you and criminals everyday, today announced HPOU’s endorsement of Mike Anderson in the race for Harris County District Attorney.

Mike Anderson will work with local police who are sworn to serve, protect and defend the public to ensure that public safety is maintained and justice is done.

While uncertainty still exists about the exact date of the 2012 Republican Party Primary Election our campaign is fully engaged and on a path to victory.

News reports continue to deliver bad news to the people of Harris County that the incumbent District Attorney is leading the office on a destructive course.  Public trust and confidence erodes with the passing of each day.

This lack of leadership cannot be allowed to continue.
