Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman will tap an upstate sheriff known as tough-on-crime policies and a staunch pro-gun rights stance as his running mate, sources told The Post Sunday. Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino will be announced as the lieutenant governor candidate to run alongside Blakeman, who is now serving as Nassau County executive, sources close to the deliberations said. Giardino has an extensive law enforcement background, and is believed to be the only person in state history who has served as an elected district attorney, a supreme court judge and sheriff.
