• Identify candidates receptive to your issues and aware of your contribution to community safety.
• Provide background investigations and determine viability of potential candidates and avoid embarrassing situations.
• Develop official association questionnaires for candidates seeking your endorsement.
• Elect city, county and state officials who value firefighters.
• Develop strategies with legal team and association president to communicate a positive message to local voters and increase community awareness and support.
• Meet with currently elected officials to create rapport and open lines of communication for ongoing support of firefighting issues.
• Build grassroots support for needed city public safety funding through such measures as Utility User Taxes (UUTs).
• Coordinate with your association’s political treasurer to ensure timely reporting and avoid stiff FPPC penalties.
• Work with your legal team and board members in negotiations for improved wage and compensation packages.
• Save your local fire departments from takeovers.
• Tell your side of the story of breaking news and help you promote positive community relations.
• Manage political data and interpret demographics that affect your issues.
