The Forney Police Officer Association has endorsed Sarah Salgado in her bid for reelection to the Forney City Council, adding to a list of local officials backing her campaign.
The association’s endorsement follows recent support from Mayor Jason Roberson and former Mayors Mary Penn and Amanda Lewis.
“ The men and women of the Forney Police Officer Association enthusiastically endorse the reelection of Sarah Salgado,” said James Carter, president of the association. “ She takes a no-nonsense approach to fighting crime, ensures officers have the resources needed to protect our families, and stands firm against extremists who push to reduce funding for our police department. It’s clear Sarah is the only candidate in this race committed to keeping every part of Forney safe.”
Salgado, who is seeking another term on the council, has emphasized public safety during her tenure. She has advocated for increased staffing, equipment, and technology for the city’s police department as Forney continues to grow.
“ A safe city is the foundation for strong neighborhoods, thriving businesses, and growing families,” Salgado said. “ That’s why I have worked hard to ensure our brave officers have the tools and community backing required to do their jobs safely and successfully.”
Among the initiatives Salgado has supported is the Forney Crime Control and Prevention District. The measure, which voters approved, funds crime prevention programs, increases officer staffing, and enhances equipment and infrastructure without raising overall sales or property tax rates, according to city officials.
Roberson praised Salgado’s record on public safety.
“ Sarah Salgado’s approach to public safety is proactive, strategic, and deeply rooted in her commitment to Forney families,” said Roberson. “ She listens to residents, works closely with law enforcement leadership, and isn’t afraid to take bold steps to strengthen community protection. At a time when many cities face increasing public safety challenges, Sarah has chosen to lead with clarity and conviction. Her unwavering support for police officers and dedication to sustainable public safety funding make her a powerful advocate for keeping Forney safe today — and for generations to come.”
