Firefighters Endorse Hassan

President Dave Lang: It is clear that her priorities align with ours, as she has had a long track record to prove it.

Today fire fighters from across New Hampshire gathered in Manchester at station seven to proudly support Gov. Hassan in her re-election campaign.

Hassan is the best choice for governor of this state because she has demonstrated that she prioritizes public safety, and has fought to ensure that fire fighters are supported so they can do their job of protecting the public.

“Fire fighters and Governor Hassan have something very important in common: it is our jobs to ensure that the citizens of this state are protected and out of harm’s way at all times. This is a job that we both take very seriously. It is clear that her priorities align with ours, as she has had a long track record as our Governor and State Senator to prove it. It’s this kind of tested leadership and unwavering commitment to the public that make her the best candidate to continue to govern New Hampshire,” stated Dave Lang, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of NH.

“A Governor’s first job is to ensure the safety of the people of New Hampshire, and it’s an honor to have the support of New Hampshire’s fire fighters as we work together to protect our communities and keep our state moving in the right direction,” said Gov. Maggie Hassan. “Through our bipartisan budget, we’ve worked to strengthen the safety of New Hampshire’s communities and ensure that all fire fighters and safety officials have the support they need and deserve, without a sales or income tax. We need to keep our state moving forward the New Hampshire Way – bringing together Republicans, Democrats and independents to protect our communities and solve long-standing challenges.”

The Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire, headquartered in Concord, NH represents more than 2,000 active and retired fire fighters and paramedics from 43 locals across the state. More information is available at pffnh.org.
