TROY – At-Large Republican candidate Keith Rogers had been endorsed by the Sheriff's Employees Association of Rensselaer County in bid for election to the City Council.

“Our union believes that Keith Rogers is the best candidate to enact real change in Troy and will fight to ensure public safety concerns in Troy are addressed,” said SEARCO president Mark Piche. “As a lifelong Troy resident, Keith Rogers’ experience and qualifications in Troy City government and the private sector sets him apart in this election. Our members are excited to support Keith Rogers in this election and we urge the people of Troy to do the same.”

Rogers said that public safety would be a top priority for him on the council just as it was when served the legislative body in 2000 and worked hard to bring the South Troy police substation and Nuisance Abatement Law to help improve city neighborhoods.

“I am honored to have the support of the Sheriff's Employees Association of Rensselaer County and thank them for their confidence in my abilities to help make Troy a cleaner and safer place to live,” said Rogers.
