Nassau law enforcement unions back Blakeman (R) re-election bid

Every Nassau County Law Enforcement union endorsed Bruce Blakeman for county executive at a press conference on Wednesday.

“I am honored to get the endorsement of all these amazing organizations that represent the men and women who protect our county,” Blakeman said. “To have heroes saying, ‘You know what, Bruce, you did a good job, and we’re behind you,’ it’s something I’m incredibly proud of.”

Blakeman, who is running for re-election as county executive in November, made law enforcement initiatives a key part of his tenure. He authorized the hiring of over 600 new police and correctional officers, and supported the construction of a new Police Training Village.

“Many people say they back the blue,” Nassau County Police Benevolent Association President Tommy Shevlin said. “Bruce Blakeman doesn’t just say he backs the blue, he acts upon it.”
