Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association Endorses State Senator Klein


  Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association President Norman Seabrook, who represents the labor union of the City’s Boldest, endorsed state Senator Jeff Klein (D-Bronx/Westchester) for reelection to the 34th State Senate District on Tuesday.

“I’m honored to receive the of the endorsement of the Corrections Officers Benevolent Association and I will continue to be an independent voice in government who understands the concerns of their membership,” state Senator Klein said.
