Transport Workers Union of America-Local 106 Endorses Bruce Blakeman in Race for Governor
On May 29, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, candidate for Governor of New York, visited the TSO/TWU Local 106 office in the Bronx, where he received the official endorsement of Local 106. Joining Local 106 in support of his candidacy was TWU Local 252 of Long Island.
Following a meeting with the leadership teams of both Locals, Local 106 and Local 252 enthusiastically endorsed Bruce Blakeman for Governor of New York.
Local 106 President Philip Valenti spoke about the urgent need for change in New York State and expressed confidence that Bruce Blakeman will bring the leadership necessary to restore common-sense government, support transit workers, stand with law enforcement, and protect taxpayers throughout the state.
Candidate Blakeman accepted the endorsement and delivered a powerful address outlining his vision for New York. He sharply criticized the current direction of the state under Governor Kathy Hochul and detailed the policies and reforms he intends to pursue if elected Governor.
Blakeman spoke about public safety, economic growth, government accountability, and restoring confidence in state leadership. His message resonated strongly with the members and leadership in attendance, who share concerns about the future direction of New York.
Local 106 is proud to stand with Bruce Blakeman and look forward to supporting his campaign as he seeks to bring new leadership and a new direction to New York State.
Mrs. Komatireddy is a highly qualified and experienced former federal prosecutor who has built a distinguished career serving the people of New York. During her tenure in the Eastern District of New York, she successfully prosecuted some of the nation’s most dangerous criminals, including members of ISIS, drug cartels, and other serious criminal organizations.
Her record demonstrates an unwavering commitment to justice, public safety, and the rule of law. As Attorney General, Saritha Komatireddy will hold criminals accountable, protect victims, and work to restore public confidence in government institutions.
Local 106 believes New Yorkers deserve an Attorney General who will focus on what matters most: keeping our communities safe, ensuring equal justice under the law, and rebuilding public trust that government is working for the people—not against them.
We are proud to stand with Saritha Komatireddy and support her campaign to become the next Attorney General of the State of New York.
