MANCHESTER, N.H.- Gov. Kelly Ayotte has received the backing of a half dozen law enforcement unions in her bid for reelection.

On Thursday the New Hampshire Troopers Association, the New Hampshire Police Association and the New Hampshire Fraternal Order of Police publicly offered their endorsements.

These latest endorsements come after Ayotte received the official backing of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office Employees Union, the Manchester Association of Police Supervisors and the Manchester Police Patrolman’s Association.

Ayotte has come to rely heavily on the endorsement of law enforcement groups when running for office, dating back to her 2010 Senate run.
