Re-elect Paul Feeney

Day after day we read about the continued benefits Senator Paul Feeney brings to the Bristol & Norfolk district. One accomplishment in particular is the support Paul Feeney has given to Firefighters in each of the Communities he represents. Feeney is in the Fire Houses on a regular basis, talking with area Firefighters, listening to the issues facing our job and immediately addressing these concerns.

Senator Feeney has secured over $400,000 establishing a grant program to assist Fire Departments in purchasing gear extractors; industrial washer machines that clean Firefighters gear of harmful cancer causing carcinogens. Such an important issue, Senator Feeney even made his maiden speech on the Senate floor about the subject.

Working with fellow colleague in the House, Representative Jim Hawkins, Senator Paul Feeney helped obtain $50,000 for an Attleboro Firefighters Health and Wellness Initiative. These monies will provide new physical fitness equipment for all Attleboro Fire Stations, cancer screening for Firefighters, and provide programs to assist Firefighters combat the physical and psychological threats posed by our profession including an increased risk of cancer, heart disease, and the effects of PTSD.

As the Chair of the Joint Committee on Public Service, Senator Feeney works tirelessly to strengthen Public Safety across the Commonwealth. His “can do” attitude is shown time and time again on Beacon Hill through sponsored legislation, kept promises, and results. There is no doubt that when re-elected on November 6th, Paul Feeney will continue to be a champion of Public Safety and a champion for all people of our District.
