Madison Firefighters Endorse Mark Miller for State Senate

Campaign’s Local Support Continues to Build as Election Nears

 

Monona – The Madison Firefighters added their endorsement to the growing list of local community leaders and organizations supporting Mark Miller for State Senate. 

 

The Madison Firefighters endorsed Miller because of his strong opposition to  Republican attempts to cut funding for critical community services like fire protection and his hard work to ensure all Wisconsin residents have affordable health care, education, good jobs and a clean environment.  In accepting their endorsement, Miller commented, “Firefighters know that it takes real work to protect our communities and that I will provide the leadership we need in the State Senate to continue to keep our communities safe and healthy.  I’m proud to have the endorsement of the Madison firefighters, and I will continue to support their valuable work.”

 

 In addition to the support of local firefighters, over 100 community leaders and elected officials from Dane County and the 16th Senate District including Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk, Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, and Lodi Mayor Paul Fisk have endorsed Miller.     

 

 Miller concluded, “I work hard to be the kind of leader who offers not just words of support, but real solutions to address the issues we face, and I’m gratified to earn the support of local firefighters and community leaders based on that record.”
