Getting the endorsement of first lady Michelle Obama on Monday was a big deal for Richard Blumenthal in his bid to win a seat in the U.S. Senate. But Tuesday’s endorsement by the Stamford Police Association means even more to him.
“This is the biggie. Your support has very special meaning to me,” Blumenthal said at police headquarters Tuesday. Sgt. Joseph M. Kennedy, the group’s president, made the announcement along with a number of Stamford police officers.
