Jason Bane Endorsed by Jeffco Police and Firefighters

Great news!

I have already been endorsed by The Arvada Police Officers' Association. You can read the full press release below, or check out the coverage from The Columbine Courier.

LAKEWOOD—Jason Bane, candidate for the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners (District 2), announced today that he has received the endorsement of both the Jefferson County Sheriffs’ Deputies and the West Metro Firefighters. Bane is the only candidate in Jefferson County to be endorsed by both organizations.

“Like most Jeffco citizens, we’re embarrassed by the scandals and investigations that have hampered our county government for years,” said Mike Prange, President of West Metro Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #18 (Jefferson County Sheriffs’ Deputies). “Jefferson County is badly in need of new, dynamic leadership, and we believe that Jason Bane has the background, the experience and the character necessary to be a great county commissioner.”

Added Sean Jewell, Vice President of West Metro Firefighters Local 1309: “Jason has a strong background and understanding of the issues, and is ready to be a solution to the corruption and mismanagement that has affected Jefferson County.”

All candidates for Jefferson County office sought the endorsement of the Jefferson County Sheriffs’ Deputies; Bane is the only candidate running for political office in Jeffco to have received their support. In addition to support from the Jeffco Deputies and West Metro Firefighters, Bane has been endorsed by the Arvada Police Officers’ Association.

“I’m proud to have the support of the men and women who know this county best,” said Bane. “I look forward to working with our police officers and firefighters to move Jefferson County in a positive new direction.”
