First responders across the county, including our brave firefighters, police officers, and lifeguards, were told that if they did not get the COVID19 vaccine, they would face termination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amy came alongside San Diego\u2019s frontline heroes when they needed their voices heard. She hosted Protecting Our Protectors rallies and set up press conferences to show frontline workers that the community supports them and she will fight for them, even in tough times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just a few weeks ago, Nathan Fletcher, the person responsible for these harmful mandates against San Diego\u2019s beloved first responders, thought he could try to improve his optics on the issue by posing with firefighters at the San Miguel Fire Station in Spring Valley and posting the photos on his Instagram account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amy was actually <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">invited <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to go meet with the firefighters herself- not to use them for a photo-op, but to actually talk with them about the challenges they are currently facing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the meeting, firefighters shared how they want local control and better resources for their departments to protect San Diegans- they also shared how they feel their concerns have not been heard by the County of San Diego.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">San Miguel Fire and Rescue is a large department and the services they provide extend over 50 square miles. Their department serves the communities of Bostonia, Casa de Oro, Crest, Grossmont\/Mt. Helix, La Presa, Rancho San Diego, Spring Valley and the unincorporated areas of El Cajon and La Mesa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The firefighters of San Miguel Fire and Rescue have spoken! They proudly give their full support to Amy Reichert for San Diego County Supervisor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amy is grateful that she has been able to actively support all of the incredible first responders in this county. San Diego\u2019s frontline heroes know that Amy will always put people before politics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Media Contact: Giovanna Longobardo\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email: Gio@AmyforSanDiego.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8590\" src=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lettersmff1434-340x340.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1246\" height=\"1246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lettersmff1434-340x340.jpg 340w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lettersmff1434-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lettersmff1434-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lettersmff1434-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lettersmff1434.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1246px) 100vw, 1246px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8594\" src=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Fletcher-No-endorsement-1-567x340.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1353\" height=\"811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Fletcher-No-endorsement-1-567x340.png 567w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Fletcher-No-endorsement-1-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Fletcher-No-endorsement-1-150x90.png 150w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Fletcher-No-endorsement-1-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Fletcher-No-endorsement-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1353px) 100vw, 1353px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Immediate Release\u00a0 April 14, 2022\u00a0 Amy Reichert, co-founder of ReOpen San Diego and candidate for San Diego County Board of Supervisors District 4, has received the official endorsement of the San Miguel Fire and Rescue, Local 1434.\u00a0 San Diegans know Amy as the fearless community leader who fought back against harmful vaccine mandates that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8589,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.5 -
