“Time after time Governor Evers has done what he can to deliver the resources to our communities so we are able to respond in time of either personal or community needs.”
MADISON, Wis. — Last week, the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin (PFFW) announced their endorsement of Governor Tony Evers’ re-election. PPFW represents 4,000 career firefighters and EMS personnel in 110 communities across the state.
This endorsement emphasizes Gov. Evers’ dedication toward supporting Wisconsin’s firefighters and EMS personnel. In his first term, Gov. Evers has remained committed to increasing local funding for first responders and improving public safety. Additionally, this past year Gov. Evers announced a $30 million investment toward EMS and he has signed legislation that makes it easier for firefighters and most EMS personnel to get treatment for PTSD.
Recently, Gov. Evers also announced his next budget would include over $90 million in increased shared revenue funding, and a new $10 million public safety supplement plan to specifically help communities address EMS, police, and fire needs.
