Local Political Action

The cornerstone for every successful Local Union is it's ability to actively participate in politics and develop relationships with political leaders. 

Every decision that is made about your life and livelihood is made by an elected official.
As firefighters, public employees and union members, political action is indispensable. A strong political action team can enable your Local to obtain better health and safety laws, negotiate stronger contracts and help shape the way in which your City Council or elected body treats your members in the future.

HOW CAN THE CPF POLITICAL DEPARTMENT HELP MY LOCAL?

Effective political action can help keep your Local out of the courtroom, and instead, in front of your elected officials, getting what you need for your members.

The CPF political team works with Locals to help design, develop, and implement campaign strategies and political programs, in conjunction with Firefighter Print & Design and Firestar Studios. We help our Locals with the following during campaign season: 

  • Direct Mail Programs
  • Develop Field programs
  • Develop Media programs
  • Develop digital or on-air ads
