Seattle Fire fighters care about the service we provide to the citizens of our community, as well as about the safety and well-being of ourselves and our families. A Seattle Fire Fighter typically serves the citizens of Seattle for 20-30 years while many elected officials may come and go. We have been around long enough to understand that many times these elected officials make decisions that are not in the best interest of fire fighters or the citizens we serve. Oftentimes these decisions can have serious consequences. Our aim is to build relationships with these elected officials, ensure that they understand our issues, and work to guarantee that both public safety and fire fighters are always a top priority.

Candidates or officials who are interested in seeking the endorsement of Seattle Fire Fighters may contact the Local 27 Political Action Committee.  The PAC will provide questionnaires to applicants.

The PAC will conduct interviews to include the following:
1. What is their position on firefighter issues and public safety?
2. Are the candidates organized and do they have a solid written campaign plan to win the election?
3. Are they raising the necessary funds to finance a successful campaign?

The PAC makes recommendations for endorsement to the general membership of Seattle Fire Fighters Local 27.
