Does Andrew support our police and first responders?
Yes. Andrew supports our police and first responders. As a firefighter, Andrew is the only candidate in the race who has a first-person understanding of what it means to wear the uniform in service to our community. When elected, Andrew will ensure our police and first responders have the funding they need to continue to keep us safe.
Andrew is a founding member of the New England First Responder Assistance Fund (NEFRAF), an organization created to help first responders in need. NEFRAF was formed in response to the need of Townsend police officer Jim Landi, who was struggling with cystic fibrosis. As Jim is on the mend, the fund will continue in perpetuity to help other first responders and their families in times of crisis.
