Firefighters union endorses Lance

The Professional Firefighters Association of New Jersey has endorsed Rep. Leonard Lance (R-Clinton) for re-election in the New Jersey’s 7th district.

“In this point in our Country’s history, we need members of Congress, the NJ Senate and NJ General Assembly who have the same values as the working men and women in our great Country,” said Don Marino, president of the union.  “Our membership consists of dedicated public safety professionals, hardworking taxpayers supporting families who cherish and exercise their right to vote-something too many aspiring politicians forget or purposely disregard when considering the value of our support.”

The union praised Lance for having the backs of firefighters, and for delivering millions of dollars in federal grants for fire companies in his district.

“I am impressed continually at the work firefighters, emergency medical teams and first responders do every day.  It takes an extraordinary person to run into danger when others are running out.  Their legislative priorities are my priorities and I will continue to fight for them in a new term,” said Lance.
