A group representing black New Haven firefighters has endorsed the reelection campaign of Mayor Toni Harp.
Leaders of the group, the New Haven Firebirds, announced the endorsement Monday afternoon outside the Goffe Street station, citing her “proven track record as it relates to affordable housing, as it relates to turning the public education system around” and promoting minorities and public safety.
Harp has supported one of the group’s signature initiatives, which readies high schoolers for public safety careers.
Harp faces Marcus Paca in a Sept. 12 Democratic primary in her quest for a third two-year term. Paca has also qualified to run as an independent in the Nov. 7 general election.
