Firefighters Endorse Caldwell
The union says Honolulu’s mayor has proven “professional, legislative, administrative experience.”
Add yet another endorsement for Kirk Caldwell in his re-election campaign.
On Tuesday the 2,100 member Hawaii Fire Fighters Association (which also has 900 retired firefighters statewide) said it supported Honolulu’s mayor because he has the “professional, legislative and administrative experience.”
The HFFA represents all four counties and state airport firefighters, although the mayor’s race is only for the City and County of Honolulu.
HFFA President Robet Lee said, “With his commitment to infrastructure improvements and the rail project, the result will help first responders to respond quicker to emergencies.”
Lee added, “While we don’t always see eye-to-eye on issues that affect our membership, we recognize he is doing his best to address all of the concerns of stakeholders.”
The Caldwell campaign has made first responders an issue in the election contest against challenger Charles Djou.
