Thank you championing the fair compare act and understanding that a cost of living increase for our contract is vital to our members! #faircontractnow Thank you!
Our firefighters put their lives on the line to keep us all safe. They show up for us every day – and we have to show up for them. @IAFF36
💸 I am committed to restoring the Workforce Investment Fund in the budget to make sure our firefighters get the pay raises they deserve.
🧑🚒 We must also pass my Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) Amendment Act, which allows retirement-eligible first responders to continue to work for up to three years while collecting supplemental payments.
🏠 We must make sure our firefighters can afford to live in the District, and that means making housing more affordable. My HOMES Act will help build more new housing and expand homeownership across DC.
DC firehouses aren’t just buildings — they’re your neighbors. 24/7/365 we stand watch, train hard, and respond without hesitation. From every Ward, we are pillars of service, safety, and trust. We are proud to protect the city we call home. @dcfireems#DC
Today, I sent a letter to Mayor Bowser and Chief Donnelly, urging quick action on the renewed Collective Bargaining Agreement with IAFF Local 36. Grateful for the support of my 11 colleagues. Timely negotiations are vital for our community's safety and effective operations.
