BOSTON —The Markey campaign today announced the endorsement of the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts (PFFM), representing more than 13,000 firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics across the Commonwealth. This endorsement follows Senator Markey’s earlier endorsement from the national International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) in October, reflecting the strong and growing support for his re-election among frontline public safety professionals.

“Senator Markey has a long history of standing with firefighters and working families,” said PFFM President Rich MacKinnon, Jr. “From leading the fight to repeal the unfair WEP provision, to holding chemical companies accountable for putting cancer-causing PFAS in our gear, to calling out venture capital firms driving up the cost and wait times of fire apparatus, he’s never been afraid to take on the tough fights. He’s a true advocate for firefighters and public safety, and the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts is proud to stand with him in his re-election.”

“I am honored to earn the support of the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts,” said Senator Markey. “Our firefighters run toward danger every single day, and they deserve a senator who will always run toward the fights that matter for them — from protecting their retirement security, to demanding safer gear, to ensuring they have the equipment they need to keep our communities safe. I am grateful for their trust, their service, and their ongoing partnership.”
