The Missouri State Council of Firefighters Endorses Small Businessman Mike Kehoe in 6^th District State Senate Race    

Mark Habbas, MSCFF Legislative Director, and Mike Kehoe visit about the Firefighter endorsement

This week our campaign received some great news -  The Missouri State Council of Firefighters announced their endorsement of our campaign, which is not only humbling, it is a true honor.  Especially when you consider the Missouri Council of Firefighters is comprised of 6,800 firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, and emergency dispatchers from around the state of Missouri, including the 6^th Senate District.

Our family has a long history with the firefighting community, as I had uncles and cousins who were firefighters.  I saw firsthand the commitments these folks make to their communities.  I also dealt with fire departments all over the state during my time manufacturing Ambulances as owner of Osage Industries in Linn, Missouri.  I understand the  issues and concerns that face these men and women, and  I am committed to fighting for the health and safety of these front line workers who put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe. 

Along with the endorsement came a new friendship – Mark Habbas, MSCFF Legislative Director.  Mark is a great man who represents his fellow firefighters with dedication and passion.  I was very proud to have Mark as a part of our announcement today when he said, “We are excited to announce our endorsement of Mike Kehoe, a first class businessman and community leader who represents the hardworking values of our members and the communities we serve.  We look forward to putting our full efforts behind Mike and will work hard to see him elected to the 6^thDistrict State Senate seat”.  Mark, I look forward to working with you and your members as we work to get our message out across the 5-county area.  I know thousands of other folks in the 6th District will join me in saying thank you for what our firefighters do to keep our families safe day in and day out.  Thank you MSCFF and it’s members - I am honored.
