Staying with proven veterans, the Culver City Firefighters Assn. announced this afternoon the union is endorsing Mayor Mehaul O’Leary, incumbent City Councilman Andy Weissman and former Councilman Scott Malsin in the April 10 election.
The Fire Dept. presently is undergoing a major transition.
Twenty-five percent of the Fire workforce has less than five years’ experience and up to 14 members are eligible for retirement in the next two years.
“We are looking for a City Council who will continue to support our current level of service to the community,” said a spokesman for the fire union.
“We feel that all three candidates bring the commitment and experience necessary to navigate the city through the very serious economic challenges ahead.”
