Washington, DC - Patrick Yoes, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police, offered his hearty congratulations to President-Elect Donald J. Trump, who was elected as the nation’s 47th President yesterday.

“The American people spoke clearly last night and flagged the American economy, public safety, and border security as the most important issues we will face in the years ahead. There is only one man who can put our country back on the right track, and that’s Donald J. Trump,” Yoes said.

President-elect Trump is the first President to be elected to nonconsecutive terms since President S. Grover Cleveland was elected in 1884 and 1892. In what was believed to be a close election, President-elect Trump appears to have swept all seven of the battleground States for a clear and decisive victory. He is also on track to win the popular vote, which no Republican candidate for President has done since 2004.

“We are proud to have endorsed President-Elect Trump and look forward to renewing our partnership,” Yoes said. “I am hopeful that all Americans will now come together to ensure the success of our country under the next Trump Administration.
