Murphy Continues To Light Up Endorsements

MOHEGAN LAKE, NY - Firefighters are a closely-knit, devoted group of heroic men and women deeply tied to their community. A lifetime Yorktown resident, Senator Terrence Murphy has championed the life-saving efforts of our local firefighters. In recognition and appreciation of Senator Murphy's support, The Lake Mohegan Professional Firefighters, Local 2956, have enthusiastically endorsed his 2018 reelection bid.

"Public safety in our communities and protecting the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep us safe has been one of my top priorities ever since I was first elected to the Senate in 2014," said Senator Murphy. "The Lake Mohegan Professional Firefighters represent some of the bravest first responders in Westchester County. Receiving their endorsement and knowing they believe in my leadership is an incredible honor."

Paul Denault, President of the Lake Mohegan Professional Firefighters, Local 2956 stated, "I am proud to announce our endorsement of Terrence Murphy for reelection to the New York State Senate in the 40th Senate District. Senator Murphy has been, and will continue to be, a positive attribute to Professional Fire Fighters by continuously having our best interest in mind. The Lake Mohegan Professional Fire Fighters look forward to continuing a positive working relationship and we are confident that Senator Murphy is the right person for the position."

Senator Murphy was one of the harshest critics of the State Parole Board's decision to allow cop killer Herman Bell out on a parole. In response Senator Murphy introduced and passed legislation (S.7976) that would mandate life imprisonment without parole for murdering a first responder. Additionally, Senator Murphy delivered the Hudson Valley's first state recognized Center of Excellence which is focused on Disaster Preparedness, Biological & Chemical Threats. The Center is now partnering with local law enforcement and first responders to provide disaster training.

The Lake Mohegan Professional Firefighters now joins a strong and diverse team of organizations supporting the two-term Senator. Last week Teamsters Local 456 announced their endorsement.
