Local 1742 is proud to support Delegate Andrew C. Pruski for re-election. Delegate Pruski has been instrumental in making BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) and the surrounding community safer through supporting firefighters every step of the way. Thank you to Delegate Puski for standing beside us in our times of need.

I am proud to share my endorsement for re-election by the BWI Airport Professional Firefighters- IAFF Local 1742

Every singe day our first responders put their lives on the line to serve. I was proud to help pass legislation that helped Local 1742 with their bargaining and arbitration rights. Improving working conditions and fair bargaining matters.

I have also passed numerous bills that helped provide the Professional Fire Fighters of Maryland with cancer screening and other Healthcare benefits, including the recent hypertension legislation.

When firefighters are there for our community, we need to be there for them. Thank you to Local 1742 and first responders for your support.
