DAVIS RECEIVES HUGE ENDORSEMENTS FROM POLICE AND FIRE

Hudson County, NJ – Bayonne Mayor Jimmy Davis today received huge endorsements from PBA Local 7, the Police Superior Officers Association (PSOA), FMBA Local 11 and Fire Officers Local 211 for his campaign to be the next Hudson County Sheriff.

Davis has already received the endorsement of the Hudson County Democratic Organization and Democratic Chair Craig Guy and Vice-Chair Mareilka Diaz along with Union City Mayor Brian P. Stack, West New York Mayor Albio Sires, Bayonne Mayor Jimmy Davis, and Weehawken Mayor Richard Turner.

Davis is being challenged by Frank Schillari.  Schillari is running for the sixth time, the most in the history of the county, and has served in a leadership position in the office since the 1990’s.

Davis previously served in the Hudson County Prosecutor’s homicide division before leading a special crimes unit and working alongside prosecutors from several counties, the FBI, U.S. Treasury Department and Department of Justice.  Since being elected mayor of Bayonne, he has focused on combating crime and stabilizing the city’s tax rate while fixing the long-standing debt issues.
