Local 718 and the Boston Police Patrolman's Association say they're backing Andrew Kenneally for one of the four at-large city council seats open in tomorrow's preliminary (which will narrow the field of candidates from 15 to 8 for the November final election).

Patrolman's Association President Thomas Nee points to the fact that Kenneally has family members in both departments, worked to keep West Roxbury kids off drugs and, as an aide to City Councilor Michael Flaherty, "labored to pass key legislation to get 'cop killer' guns off our streets."

Kenneally had earlier been endorsed by the union representing EMTs.
