Read MoreWashington, DC - Patrick Yoes, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police, hailed today’s historic vote on the Senate floor that will send H.R. 82, the “Social Security Fairness Act,” to the President’s desk to be signed into law. “Today’s vote is the result of a lot of hard work by a lot of folks who have been committed to Social Security fairness for years, and we would not have gotten this through Congress without this truly bipartisan effort,” Yoes said. “We want to first thank President-elect Trump. At a key moment in this process, we appealed to him for his help, and he delivered gladly and powerfully to provide the support we needed. We are indebted to him for the role he played in tonight’s success. “And of course, the FOP and its members are eternally grateful to Representatives Graves and Spanberger, who led us through the House with such success. Senator Schumer made good on the promise he made to us and his invaluable legislative strategy got us to and over the finish line. We also owe a great debt to the bill’s sponsor, Senator Sherrod Brown, who fought tenaciously for us on this issue and to Senators Collins and Cassidy, who were key allies in building support on this historic vote today. We are also grateful to our good friend Senator Klobuchar, who also played an important role in tonight’s victory.
