Soffe, President of Utah State F.O.P. "If voters care about law enforcement, they’ll join us getting Jason Chaffetz elected. Our officers have seen Jason on the streets joining us to understand our issues. We know he cares about us. We are going to work hard to help Jason Chaffetz get elected.” At a February 7 F.O.P. meeting, Chaffetz spoke to FOP representatives from across the state. “It is an honor to have the support of law enforcement," Chaffetz said. "Every day they put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe. As your Congressman, I will do everything I can to support these brave men and women. I appreciate their stepping forward and supporting my bid for Congress."
