FIRE FIGHTERS ENDORSE
KENNEDY FOR SENATE
Professional Fire Fighters
of Massachusetts highlight Kennedy’s support amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in
video with President Rich MacKinnon
WATERTOWN, MA –– Today the Professional Fire Fighters for Massachusetts (PFFM)
endorsed Congressman Joe Kennedy III in his bid for U.S. Senate. Representing
12,000 firefighters across the state, PFFM is the 33rd labor organization in
Massachusetts to endorse Kennedy.
PFFM released their endorsement today in a video with President
Rich MacKinnon. The video highlights Kennedy’s support for firefighters and
other first responders during COVID-19.
"Joe Kennedy’s constant presence and leadership on all issues
for first responders is what drives our commitment to support him,” said
PFFM President Rich MacKinnon. “Our members connect with Joe. After meeting
him in person they often remark on how genuine and grounded he is. As Joe has
stood with firefighters in firehouses all across Massachusetts, we are proud to
stand with him for the U.S. Senate."
“You are heroes who risk your lives everyday,” Congressman Joe
Kennedy III said. “When you leave home to head to the fire station, your
hug to your children and your kiss to your significant other could be the last
one. With two young children, the sacrifices you make to make sure the rest of
us are safe are never lost on me. With the COVID-19 pandemic, those words and
risks have never been more clear and present. Fighting for your right to
collective bargain, SAFER Grants, and Assistance to Firefighter Grants have
never been more important. I am honored to have your support in this race and
will continue to be in your corner every step of the way.”
PFFM hosted a virtual endorsement ceremony with Kennedy on
Wednesday, where President MacKinnon was joined by firefighters from Newton,
Springfield, Falmouth, Worcester, Saugus, Melrose, Westfield, Fitchburg, and
Attleboro who shared why they are enthusiastically throwing their support
behind Kennedy for the U.S. Senate. For media interested in footage from the
