Fullen requested endorsement for his "Fullen 2024" campaign back in 2022. As of February 20, 2024 Texas City Municipal Police Association held its monthly meeting. During the meeting a motion was made to rescind endorsement for Fullen 2024, and the motion was passed. As of this date a cease and desist letter has been sent to the Fullen campaign demanding they remove their endorsement from Fullen's campaign website and marketing materials.

Fullen Lies on Arrest Counts at the Border

In one of Fullen's campaign fliers he claims to be the county's lead coordinator for efforts down on the souther border, responsible for thousands of arrests. But in reality Fullen is the head coordinator for just Precinct 2. Between September 1, 2023 and December 1, 2023, Fullen made a total of 9 felony arrests, and 2 traffic stops. Not even close to thousands. While during the same time period GSCO (Galveston County Sheriff's Office) made 603 Felony Arrests, and 156 Traffic Stops. To put these numbers into perspective. During this 2 month period. GCSO had only 2 officers working on the border at any one time. While Pct 2 (represented by Jimmy Fullen) had 1 officer, Pct 4 also had 1 officer assigned. The numbers are self explanatory. So the question is what is Fullen really doing at the border other than photo opps?
