MOREHEAD, Ky. — Republican State Representative Richard White has announced that he has received the endorsement of the Kentucky Professional Fire Fighters in his campaign for Kentucky’s 99th House District.
White shared the endorsement Monday on social media, saying he was “honored” to receive the organization’s support and pointing to what he described as his record of backing firefighters and other first responders.
“I am proud of my record supporting our brave firefighters and first responders who put their lives on the line every single day,” White wrote. “I will always stand with those who serve and protect the 99th District.”
