Rep. Boyd
honored
State Representative Pat Boyd (D-Pomfret) has been named the 2017 “Legislator of the Year” by the Connecticut State Firefighters Association. This award recognizes Rep. Boyd’s efforts and dedication in advocating for Connecticut firefighters.
“I am extremely grateful to receive this honor from the CSFA,” Boyd said. “Firefighting is an essential community service and we must do everything we can to help our local Fire Departments those that play such a vital role. That is why this legislative session, I worked across the aisle with Rep. Brian Ohler (R- North Canaan) to organize and lead the bipartisan Fire/EMS Caucus to make fire service legislation a priority. Firefighters, both volunteer and professional, risk their lives on a daily basis to help others and I am proud to advocate for them. I appreciate all the work firefighters do for our communities and will continue to fight our firefighters.”
Leon Collins, Legislative Representative for the Connecticut State Firefighters Association, said, “We greatly appreciate Rep. Boyd’s efforts during the past year. His work, with Rep. Brian Ohler, to organize the bipartisan Fire/EMS Caucus at the Capitol was just what the Fire Service needed."
