"With border crossings up 78% since last year, we are experiencing an influx of crime, drugs, and human trafficking in this country," NBPC President Brandon Judd said. "Georgia citizens are paying the price of the irresponsible soft-on-crime policies from Raphael Warnock and Joe Biden firsthand. It’s time to elect a strong leader who will always prioritize the safety of Georgia and U.S. citizens, and that person is Herschel Walker."
"I'm honored to be endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council," Walker said. "On the campaign trail, I'm often reminded of how Georgians don't feel safe in their own communities, and our law enforcement heroes are being abandoned — and even demonized — by our leaders in Washington."
