Marin Professional Firefighters Endorse Candidates and Issues: June 2012 Election

Marin Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 1775, conducts lengthy candidate interviews before issuing any endorsement under the direction of our Political Director and Political Action Committee.  We look for candidates that support worker's rights, public safety, believe in fair compensation, workplace safety, and show a broad understanding of the issues that effect firefighters, labor, and the fire service in general.  We base our endorsements on the endorsement policies of the IAFF and our Local 1775 bylaws and policies.

Michael Allen, Assembly

David Weinsoff, Supervisor District 2

Our endorsements are non-partisan.  Each endorsement is about the candidate’s stance on fire service and labor issues. Politics within the IAFF are an issue of mutual respect. The IAFF respects its members’ right to vote for whomever they choose.  Please respect the IAFF and Local 1775's right to endorse candidates, regardless of party, who demonstrate their support for the IAFF and professional fire fighters. The IAFF respects the right of state associations and individual affiliates to endorse the candidate that they believe best represents the views of their membership at the state and local level.
