Firefighters back Malliotakis for 2nd assembly term
Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-Bay Ridge-Staten Island), running or her second term in office, has picked up endorsements from unions representing firefighters.
Malliotakis has been endorsed by the Uniformed Firefighters Association (UFA), the Uniformed Fire Officers Association (UFOA), and the Uniformed EMTs, Paramedics & Fire Inspectors Union.
The announcement of the endorsements took place during a press conference the assemblywoman held outside Engine 161, a Staten Island firehouse that had been threatened with closure by the Bloomberg Administration earlier this year. The union representatives said that their support for Malliotakis was due in large part or her efforts to keep the firehouse open.
