In his endorsement, former Sheriff Voutour said, “Brian was the kind of prosecutor that my investigators wanted working on their cases because he was tough, thorough, and hard-working. He always gave our cases the attention they deserved and got results.”

Chief Eggert stated, “I couldn’t think of a better candidate for the office of Niagara County District Attorney than Brian Seaman and he has my unqualified endorsement.”

Chief Hall said about Seaman, “All the citizens of Niagara County can be assured that his integrity, competence, honesty and knowledge of the office, make him the best choice for Niagara County District Attorney.”

With regard to the support he is receiving from law enforcement Brian Seaman said, “I have great respect for the work of our law enforcement officials. I believe their support of me is a reflection of the work I did in my years as a prosecutor. Law enforcement officers want a DA who will work as hard as they do to bring justice for crime victims. That is exactly what I will do if elected.”
