Strong Voices. Safer Communities.

Why Are Firefighters involved in politics?

Firefighters are more than just first responders; they are an integral part of the community, woven into the daily lives of the citizens they protect. Every day, in neighborhoods across our city, we have the unique privilege of interacting with residents on a personal level. We are in your homes, we see your families, and we witness firsthand the strengths, vulnerabilities, and untapped opportunities that define our community. This daily immersion provides us with an unparalleled understanding of what it takes to keep our citizens and their property safe from harm.

Why Contribute to FIREPAC?

Every decision about a fireighter's job is influenced by someone who was either elected or appointed. FIREPAC helps FireFighters build relationships with decision makers and communicate with the voters who elect them.

As long as politicans are involved in our ability to fight fires, FireFighters must be involved in politics. Contributing to FIREPAC builds a more powerful, effective union.

We are the subject-matter experts in public safety, not by academic theory, but by decades of frontline experience. While the political landscape may shift with each election cycle, our commitment to this community is a lifelong career. We have served alongside a revolving door of elected leaders—some effective, others less so—giving us a rare and insightful perspective on what truly contributes to a thriving and secure community.

This long-term dedication, free from the pressures of partisan politics, has equipped us with the knowledge to discern effective leadership. We've seen what works and what doesn't, not in theory, but in practice on your streets and in your homes. That is why our endorsement is a powerful indicator of a candidate's genuine commitment to the well-being of our community. It is a testament to our confidence in their ability to lead with integrity, foresight, and a true understanding of the needs of all our citizens. When firefighters stand behind a candidate, it is because we believe they possess the character and vision necessary to build a safer, stronger, and more successful community for generations to come.
