My name is Jeanette Longan and I support Jerry Henderson for Fire Commissioner. Jerry has years of experience as a firefighter and understands the real challenges they face. He has decades of experience in managing for large organizations and doing what’s necessary to effect change without tearing an organization apart. You don’t need a medical license or a law degree to run a fire department. You need someone who has firefighter and fire department experience.
The best candidate for a board position in a first responder organization is a person who has had direct experience, preferably as an actual responder. I say this because the position of a Commissioner in a small department requires both a broad perspective of how the organization fits into the community and how the citizen volunteer is motivated to sign up and to continue with what can be a demanding, yet rewarding experience. First responder outfits are absolutely unique.
