McCormick Endorsed By Philadelphia Firefighters’ & Paramedics’ Union Local 22

PHILADELPHIA, PA. — Dave McCormick, a combat veteran and Pennsylvania job creator who served in the highest levels of government, today was endorsed by Philadelphia Firefighters’ & Paramedics’ Union Local 22. The union represents 4,500 current and retired firefighters, paramedics, and EMT’s in the Philadelphia area.

"We’re proud to endorse Dave McCormick for U.S. Senate because Pennsylvanians are desperate for new leadership. After meeting with both candidates, we feel that McCormick understands the challenges first responders are facing and will support policies that make our lives better and the city of Philadelphia safer,” said Philadelphia Firefighters’ & Paramedics’ Union Local 22 President Mike Bresnan.

“I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the brave Philadelphia firefighters and paramedics who make up Local 22. For over 100 years, Local 22 members have provided the city with some of the best emergency services in the country. These men and women put their lives on the line on behalf of us to keep us safe, and they deserve a senator who will have their back and fight to get them the resources they deserve. Weak Bob Casey and his liberal policies have upended public safety and left Pennsylvania first responders in the dust, and I’m determined to restore strong leadership to the Senate on behalf of all those who keep us safe,” said Dave McCormick.
