Thursday evening, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump received a key endorsement for the upcoming New Hampshire Primary.
Following a private meeting between the GOP front-runner and the New England Police Benevolent Association, the organization officially endorsed his candidacy. The New England Police Benevolent Association historically endorses a candidate during the primary season, and it is one of many that carries considerable weight in the Granite State.
“I am incredibly honored to receive this endorsement,” Trump said. “My entire life has been spent defending the police and the incredible job they do. Especially today, they will play an increasingly vital part in making our nation safe. With their support and hard work together we will make America great again.”
Also Thursday evening, Bob Burns, chairman of the New Hampshire Federation of Young Republicans announced he was joining the Trump campaign as Youth Coalition Chairman. Burns, who is Hillsborough County Treasurer, has been actively involved with New Hampshire Young Republicans since 2005, and served as Youth Outreach Director for Huckabee in 2008 and Deputy State Director for Newt Gingrich in 2012.
“I am confident that Donald Trump is the right man for our country at this time in our nation’s history,” he said. “It is clear Donald Trump is uniting Americans from every political persuasion as he ensures a solid future for my generation and the generations to come.”
