Shea-Porter Gets Nod from Firefighters

David Lang: It is very clear from her history, voting record, that her priorities are to the people on Main Street, not Wall Street.

The Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire back U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, D-NH, in her re-election campaign.

The Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire represent more than 2,000 active and retired fire fighters and paramedics across the state. Congressional District one has 23 out of 43 PFFNH locals.

“Congresswoman Shea-Porter has always stood up for middle class families. It is very clear from her history and her voting record, that her priorities are to the people on Main Street, not the people on Wall Street. She has always been a friend to fire fighters, and knows that keeping the public safe is not just a talking point, but a responsibility that she takes seriously,” said Dave Lang, President of the Professional Fire Fighters of NH.
