The OPOA PAC endorses candidates who place an emphasis on public safety and funding critical public safety measures.
Supporting candidates and measures that enhance resources and capabilities for police departments through your votes is crucial for creating safer and more supported local communities. By doing so, you empower law enforcement to effectively combat crime, respond to emergencies, and build positive community relationships. This support fosters an environment where police can proactively address challenges and work collaboratively with residents, ultimately ensuring a higher quality of life for everyone.
Who We’re Endorsing in 2024
The one for the job
Assemblywoman Laurie Davies
"Assemblymember Davies has been a trusted friend of the law enforcement community here in Orange County. Her record is second to none, and she has proven that she walks the walk when it comes to doing what needs to be done to keep her constituents safe."
- Tom Dominguez | President of the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs
The one for the job
Laura Bassett
Laura’s professional experience starting businesses and working as a fiduciary, along with her degree in accounting makes her uniquely qualified to handle budget issues and cutting waste without affecting Oceanside’s unique charm. Laura’s volunteer experience is a testament to her love of our city and her dedication to keeping its hometown character. Volunteering her time has given her the opportunity to work with many individuals and groups dedicated to making Oceanside and San Diego County a better place to live and work.
The one for the job
Deputy Mayor Ryan Keim
A lifelong Oceanside resident, I am proud to serve the city of Oceanside as a councilmember for District 3 and Deputy Mayor. After a career as an Oceanside police officer and law enforcement executive, I was appointed to the City Council in 2019 and elected to my first full term the following year. As a leader of one of the largest cities in the county, I immediately confronted our most pressing issues- the homeless crisis, rising crime rates and our disappearing beaches while also delivering a balanced budget and ensuring our residents get the best value for their tax dollars.
