O’BRIEN AND WALTON ENDORSED BY THE PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS ASSOCIATION OF NEW JERSEY

HACKENSACK – Bergen County Freeholders Julie O’Brien and Vernon Walton today proudly accepted the endorsement of the Professional Firefighters Association of New Jersey. Headquartered in Trenton, the PFANJ represents the interests of more than 3,500 professional firefighters and their families across the state.


“I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the Professional Firefighters Association of New Jersey,” said Freeholder O’Brien. “Vernon and I have always strived to serve them by working to make sure that Bergen County’s first responders have the resources they need to keep us safe and return safely to their families.”


The Professional Firefighters Association was chartered in 1929 and has grown to include more than 60 unions. Their mission is to organize professional firefighters and other first responders, ensure they have the tools necessary to perform their jobs and care for those who have dedicated their careers to caring for us.


“It runs contrary to every fiber of our being to run toward an inferno but these brave men and women do it on a daily basis,” Freeholder Walton said. “I am grateful for what they do for us and humbled by their support of Julie and myself.”

"Professional" Firefighters?


"Professional" firefighters have jobs because they COST less then their substitute good: fire-suppression and fire-retardant systems, not because they are 'heroes.'

I do not listen to the political opinions of those who value their own lives less than the cost of a sprinkler head and a few yards of hose.

How about the Commandment 'THOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR"?Vernon C Walton Democrat Freeholder candidate
ordained CHRISTIAN MINISTER condones radio ad against Republican John Driscoll that claims "Mr Driscoll is "pushing tobacco and guns on children". Its a lie and you and O'BRIAN are just TWO MORE desperate Democratic liars. Anything to be re-elected. Look at Voss/Wagner ad
That lie cost them the Record endorsement and hopefully the election.
