- Affordable Housing for our Firefighters Within our District
-
If a Firefighter cannot live within the SRVFPD, they must commute long distances when called out in an emergency.
- Ralph urges voting for Ralph Hoffmann, 1st on the Ballot, and Jennifer Price, the sole Incumbent, for Director, SRVFPD Board

- We Can't Monitor the SRVFPD Board When News is not Reported
-
No local print media reports on the SRVFPD Board Meetings. How can the public judge if our Board is making decisions in our best interests? What's more important, illegally sending the name of the incumbent candidate's name to voters at taxpayers expense or unbiased reporting of meetings?
