The Boston firefighters union on Monday endorsed Councilor Annissa Essaibi Georgeâs campaign for mayor. The union's nod comes two weeks after retired Police Commissioner William Gross endorsed her, suggesting Essaibi George's emerging status as the choice of Boston's public safety workers.
âCouncilor George has a long track record of standing with Boston firefighters and their families,â said John Soares, International Association of Firefighters Local 718 president, announcing the unionâs support. âThat is why we're standing with her today, tomorrow and in November when she becomes mayor of this city.â
