Earlier this month, the Carmel Professional Firefighters Union Local 4444 issued their support for Kevin “Woody” Rider as Mayor of Carmel.
“We are very excited at the prospect of Kevin ‘Woody’ Rider’s election as Mayor of Carmel,” said JC Mitchell, president of the Carmel Professional Firefighters Union. “Rider has been an unwavering supporter of public safety in Carmel as an At-Large City Councilor the last 16 years, and it only makes sense to support that commitment to ensure the public safety in our city continues to meet the high standard we have here in Carmel. Rider rose to the top in this process for my members. He presented a genuine vision for the future of public safety in Carmel that continues to improve on the excellent service we provide currently under Mayor Brainard which has seen Carmel consistently named one of the safest cities in the country.”
Local 4444 also is announcing a slate of candidates its members have endorsed for city council in the May 2 Primary Election. They include:
- Jeff Worrell – At Large
- Matthew J. Snyder – At Large
- Rich Taylor – At Large
- Adam Aasen – Southeast District
- Tony Green – South Central
- Ryan Locke – Northwest District
- Shannon Minnaar – Northeast District
“Carmel Firefighters are committed to keeping the citizens of Carmel safe, and we need our elected officials to have the same commitment,” Mitchell said. “These candidates have it. We look forward to working with each of them.”
