HFFA 2022 General ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS
Regardless of political party, HFFA and the IAFF work with decision-makers to improve the welfare and livelihood of our members. Making candidate endorsement recommendations to our members and the community is important in the electoral process.
Check your mail for your General Election Ballot which are scheduled to be mailed this week. You can drop off your ballot at any ballot drop box in your county and if you are returning you ballot by mail, please be sure to allow time for the postal service to deliver your ballot to your county’s elections division offices by the November 8, 2022, 7:00 pm deadline.
