Marin Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 1775, representing the professional firefighters of Marin County, California, is proud to endorse Jared Huffman's candidacy for US Congress. We believe that Jared Huffman is the best choice to represent the important and diverse communities of California's North Coast in the US House of Representatives.
