Subject: J'Lo for Sheriff - PLEASE DISTRIBUTE There's a new candidate for Sheriff in town, and he wants to make a few changes. Meet Juan Lopez! (You can call him J'Lo).

S. Minneapolis – upstairs This is a fundraiser, albeit humble. There is no minimum, or even suggested donation. Mainly, we want you to come and meet this guy who has been running an old fashioned grass roots campaign for change and justice in the office of Hennepin County Sheriff. Of course there'll be something good to eat and drink. Issues: A million bucks a bed? The current Sheriff just spent $108 million on a new jail that added only 96 beds. Now they're setting up cots in the gym! J'Lo will be more prudent with taxpayer money. 8% women & people of color? The Sheriff proudly reports an increase from 4% to 8% women and minorities At the Sheriff's office. Whoa! Hennepin County is over half female and 20% people of color. J'Lo knows minorities aren't just the bad guys - he aims to diversify the Sheriff's workforce. More concealed weapons? The Sheriff has been the weak link in law enforcement opposition to conceal and carry legislation. Does that mean other Sheriffs, Police Chiefs and Peace Officers Associations are all wrong? J'Lo doesn't think so. He'll work hard To keep guns off the street. -- Nikki Carlson 4035 Sheridan Av. S.

[Mpls] Press Release: Latino Sheriff Candidate Wins DFL ENDORSEMENT
Hennepin County Sheriff race gears up for a “photo finish” Minneapolis, 21 July 2002…Late today, Juan B. Lopez gained the DFL Endorsement for Hennepin County Sheriff. Lopez is challenging eight-year incumbent, Pat McGowan, in a neck-to- neck race. “We are thrilled to endorse Juan Lopez; he has unique qualities to offer,” said Chris Kopka, Co-Chair of the Hennepin County DFL. Nikki Carlson, who Co-Chairs with Kopka, asserted “having a Latino Sheriff sends a positive message to the community. He will be the first in Minnesota’s history and it’s overdue.” “We believe it’s the right moment for a Democrat of color to be elected to the Sheriff’s Office,” Kopka added. According to the party’s nod and platform, Lopez represents the DFL’s position on Public Safety and Crime Prevention, tenets of their Civil, Human and Constitutional Rights as well as its agenda on Government Accountability to the Public. “We share many fronts with the DFL Party,” Campaign Manager Juan M. Lopez stated. “This endorsement also distinguishes our campaign from the opposition, who is not a Democrat,” he said. Speaking on the National Rifle Association’s ‘conceal and carry gun issue’, Candidate Lopez received a rowdy round of applause from the delegates who attended the specially called convention at the Webber Recreation Center in North Minneapolis. “Voters need to pay close attention to who gets to hide and transport guns and how they’re allowed to do this. Bottom line, though: “We don’t need more guns in the urban core,” stated Lopez. Juan B. Lopez for Hennepin County Sheriff Committee is a grassroots campaign dedicated to social justice and social change within the law enforcement community.
