Andrew Falk has broad police support for State Assembly campaign.

Numerous police associations throughout our community and the state have endorsed Assembly candidate Andrew Falk (D, WF-Patterson).

Andrew Falk has been endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police, the Westchester County Police PBA, the Patrolman’s Benevolent Association of the City of New York, the New York State Troopers PBA, the Affiliated Police Associations of Westchester County, the Police Conference of New York, the PBA of New York State, and the Westchester County Correction Superior Officers Association.

“The men and women who risk their lives every day to protect our families need some protection themselves,” said Falk. “I’m proud to support their efforts, and I look forward to teaming up with them to ensure these hardworking men and women have the tools they need to continue keeping our families safe.”

Affiliated Police Associations of Westchester County Vice President Robert Buckley states, “Andrew Falk’s message of ‘fighting for our middle class’ is consistent with our police members’ mission of protecting our communities and their residents. Andrew knows that our members need someone who has their backs up in Albany and that’s why the Affiliated Police Associations of Westchester County is proud to endorse and support Andrew’s campaign for State Assembly.”

Westchester County Police PBA President Mike Hagan said, “Andrew Falk has the integrity that our membership is looking for in a candidate – he also takes the time to listen and educate himself on issues of importance to the law enforcement community. Andrew knows that the hardworking men and women of our local police have always been one of the foundations of the middle class and that when the middle class succeeds, we all succeed.”

Andrew Falk is challenging Steve Katz in the 94th Assembly District, which includes the towns of Carmel, Patterson, Putnam Valley and Southeast in Putnam County, as well as Somers and Yorktown in Westchester County.
