After signing the Heritage Action Police Pledge, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp issued the following statement:

“As widespread violence rips through the streets of our nation, it is absolutely critical that elected officials stand against the ‘Defund the Police’ movement and support our hardworking men and women in uniform,” said Governor Kemp. “These brave individuals have dedicated their lives to serving and protecting their fellow citizens, and as I sign this pledge, it should be clear – in no uncertain terms – that Georgia is a state that proudly Backs the Blue.”
