The Police Benevolent Association of the New York State Troopers has endorsed the re-election campaign of Representative Lee Zeldin in New York's First Congressional District. The endorsement represents Mr. Zeldin's ninth union endorsement in the 2020 election cycle.

The P.B.A. union represents more than 6,000 active and retired uniformed members of the state police.

"Lee Zeldin has consistently championed police and first responders and is unafraid to stand up against calls to defund police departments and other radical efforts that will make our officers and communities less safe," John Clark, second vice president and legislative director of the State Troopers' P.B.A., said in a statement issued by Mr. Zeldin's campaign. "We are very appreciative for his support of police, especially during these tumultuous times when it is fashionable to turn their backs on the law enforcement profession."

The International Union of Operating Engineers Local Union 15, 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15G, and 15H; the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 138; Road and Heavy Construction Laborers Local Union No. 1298; the International Organization of Masters, Mates, and Pilots; the SMART Transportation Division of the Long Island Rail Road; Plumbers Local 200; the Police Benevolent Association of New York State, and the North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters have also endorsed Mr. Zeldin.

First East Hampton, Then the World

In the summer of 2011, Alex Esposito and James Mirras addressed a specific need with Hamptons Free Ride, an electric shuttle service that ran in a fixed loop through East Hampton and from parking lots in town to Main Beach. Since then, a “hometown side project” has developed into Circuit, an all-electric, on-demand “micro-transit” solution in more than 40 cities and towns.

WordHampton Moves Downtown

The public relations firm WordHampton has long had its finger on the pulse of what’s going on in the East End business community. That comes with the job. And now, with a new office overlooking Park Place in East Hampton Village, it is part of that pulse in a way that was not quite as tangible from its former headquarters in Springs.
