"Being a first responder takes more courage & skill than most people can imagine, and it takes a huge toll on the first responders & their families. Today I had the privilege of meeting with members of the IL Association. of Firefighters during the IAFF conference in Washington."
"I will continue supporting our nation's firefighters with federal grant programs & legislation like my SIREN Act. We can make this inherently dangerous profession safer by making sure that fire departments have the best training, equipment, and access to health care."
