A former NYPD cop who is one of numerous Republicans challenging Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received the endorsement of the Bronx Conservative Party this week.

Retired Harbor Unit officer-turned-high school civics teacher John Cummings got the nod from chairman Bill Newmark for his long-shot bid to turn New York’s deeply blue 14th Congressional District red.

“This decision was a no-brainer for us,” Newmark said.

“He is a lifelong conservative and is with us on the issues that matter.

“The future of the republic is at stake and our number one priority as Bronx Conservatives is to beat AOC and stop the scourge of socialism that she represents,” Newmark said.

The Bronx County Republican Party also supports the idea of Cummings’ candidacy, but has not made an official endorsement and is looking at the other candidates, said Chairman Mike Rendino.

He leads the pack of five candidates seeking the party’s nomination to take on the Democratic superstar in November 2020 in fundraising, but Ocasio-Cortez still hauled in nearly $500,000 more than all the challengers combined.
