Just the view from my little circle...

My grandpa was a fire chief of a small town for 25 years. And a proud Democrat who spoke of gladly staying with the party through the civil rights movement. He was a friend to everyone. IAFF support would be a big deal to him if he was still with us.

Cousins and uncles of mine have been firefighters and EMTs, as well. Some of them are Trump supporters, sigh.

I expect this will make them remember their Pa's views, and maybe think twice about nodding along with trump's maniacal bullshit.

I'm tracking with other candidates, too, but I really appreciate this endorsement.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
