New York State court officers endorsed Republican Bruce Blakeman for governor on Wednesday, a rare move that marks the first time in at least 20 years the unions have backed a candidate for the office. The Supreme Court Officers and Court Officers associations said the Nassau County executive gets the nod because “he has made public safety a central part of his public service” — and said Gov. Kathy Hochul and state Democrats have left their ranks depleted and put them in harm’s way on the job.
