Thank you to the following members for helping, or offering to help, the Local makes a difference at the polls: Leroy Bachert, Chris Groller, Jody Mongolitz, John Hammel, Jason Tatum, Zach Shepard, Lloyd Evans, John Eddleman, Tim Bruce, Chad Ege, Devin Grow, Bob Xander, Joe Kemmerer.
Without your help, we would not have been able to make a big impact. We did just that yesterday. Pete Schweyer needed our help and we showed him and others watching, that Local 302 is a strong ally and will come out big for our friends. We made a significant impact in the polls no matter what happens. Pete is extremely grateful and will always be loyal to us. This is how we grow our Union as well as our Department.
You, the members of Local 302, are our strength and without your support, we would not be able to demonstrate our resolve.
Thanks again to all of those who answered the call. We look forward to having more members come out in the future and help in showing that Local 302 is a must-have friend to get elected.
We will post updates to our election results as they become more clear.
Next up the Mayoral race in 2021.
Thank you,
Adam Perreault
Tuesday is election day and we need help at the polls. This is an extremely important election year for Local 302. Our friends who help secure funding, protect Act 111 and workers rights, and help to give Allentown Fire Fighters a voice on the state and Federal stage are facing serious opposition. If the opposition candidates win we will no longer have representatives that will stand up for us. I promise you they will only care about their crazy anti labor or anti public safety agenda. We need you to come out and represent Local 302 at the polls and show support for candidates who will support us and answer our calls day and night. This is how we will continue our growth in strength, safety, and numbers as Allentown Fire Fighters. Supporting candidates who support us allows us to secure funding for special teams equipment, new apparatus, and negotiate good contracts. We need members
to staff both morning and afternoon polls. This is it, this is how we stand up for our needs as Allentown Fire Fighters. Don’t assume that someone else will do it, come out and help. Text or call Perreault (484)892-1787 for details and availability.

November 3rd is rapidly approaching. This election is not only pivotal in the presidential election but even more so locally. Pete Schweyer our current Representative is facing a serious challenger and stands to lose the seat. Pete has been a staunch friend of firefighters and has been instrumental in helping to rebuild the Department. Let’s support our friend get Pete re-elected. To get this done we need to show force. We can show force by handing out support literature at the polling stations. This is a very effective method of supporting a candidate. We get to the voters as they go in to cast their votes. A lot of times this makes a difference in undecided or uninformed voters. We need a lot of members to come out and show Local 302 Allentown Fire Fighters support Pete like he supports us. Do not assume someone else is going to do it, we need everyone. Contact Perreault (484) 892-1787 with your shirt size and availability.–
