Democratic Attorney General Patrick C. Lynch today announced he has been endorsed by five labor and civic organizations in his campaign against Republican J. William W. Harsch.

The groups are the Rhode Island Latino Political Action Committee, the Rhode Island International Brotherhood of Police Officers, the Rhode Island Fraternal Order of Police, the Rhode Island Brotherhood of Correctional Officers, and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).

The announcement from Lynch’s campaign quoted Anthony Capezza, state director of the Rhode Island International Brotherhood of Police Officers, as saying, “Patrick has proven to the citizens of Rhode Island that he is a tough prosecutor who fights crime and upholds criminal convictions on appeal.”

Lynch said, “I am honored to have the support of such an exceptional group of outstanding law enforcement officials and civic leaders.”
