Law Enforcement Group Endorses Conway In Senate Race

LOUISVILLE. (AP) - Democratic Senate candidate Jack Conway has picked up an endorsement from a group representing law enforcement officials across Kentucky.

The Kentucky State Fraternal Order of Police praised Conway's performance as the state's attorney general in announcing its support for the Louisville Democrat on Monday. The state FOP cites Conway's work to crack down on prescription pill abuse and to remove child pornography from the Internet.

The state FOP represents more than 9,200 law enforcement personnel and their families.

Conway is running against Bowling Green Republican Rand Paul for the seat of Sen. Jim Bunning, who is retiring.

The FOP endorsement comes days after Paul said that drug enforcement isn't a "real pressing issue" in eastern Kentucky. Paul wants to cut federal funding for undercover drug investigations and drug treatment programs.
