Sacramento Police Officers Association Endorses

John Allard for Assembly

Roseville – Small business owner and Assembly candidate John Allard continues to gain the support of the law enforcement community. Allard has received the endorsement of the Sacramento Police Officers Association (SPOA). This endorsement comes on the heels of the Roseville Police Officers Association endorsement. Allard is running in the 4th Assembly District.

In a letter to Allard, SPOA President Brent Meyer writes, “We join the Roseville Police Officers Association in the belief that you best share the interests and values of the membership, and know you will best represent the interest of the citizens who live in this assembly district, as well as the citizens of the State of California.”

“I am honored to have the support of the Sacramento POA, whose brave men and women are our first line of defense against criminals who would harm our society,” said Allard. “Public safety is a core service of government and I look forward to defending its status as a priority in the State Assembly.”

Allard has served on the Roseville City Council since 2003 and served as Planning Commissioner from 2001 to 2003. With over two decades of community service, Allard has served on the Board of Directors of Acres of Hope Shelter for Women and Children, Roseville Chamber of Commerce, Roseville Community Health Foundation, Sacramento Valley Lincoln Club, South Placer Transportation Management Association, and The Gathering Inn, Sutter Health’s Placer County Community Advisory Board, and William Jessup University’s Community Relations Board.

Having previously served as the Chief of Staff to former Senator and Assemblyman Tim Leslie, Allard is a familiar name in the region with relationships established over several decades.  His long list of endorsements and work ethic make him the immediate front-runner for this seat.

In 2005, Allard and his wife, Lisa, purchased a service-related franchise and have grown the business by over 400%. The parents of three children, the Allard family attends Bayside Church of Roseville.
