Mequon, WI – The Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin proudly announced today their endorsement of Mike Thurow in his campaign for Congress in Wisconsin’s Sixth Congressional District.

The PFFW represents professional firefighters and emergency medical personnel who serve their communities across Wisconsin with dedication, courage, and professionalism, and Mike Thurow is a proud member of this union. 

“At a time when working families are increasingly left behind and public safety systems are under pressure, it is critical that we elevate leaders who have lived the job, understand the stakes, and are willing to challenge the status quo. Mike Thurow is that leader.” said Jerry Biggart, President of the PFFW. “Brother Thurow is a proud member of the Milwaukee Fire Department and IAFF Local 215, currently serving as a Fire Captain and HAZMAT leader. His career reflects the very best of our profession: service, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to the communities we protect.”

“Mike is running as an Independent, and that matters. His campaign is rooted in the belief that government should work for people, not political parties, not corporate donors, and not special interests. He has committed to rejecting corporate PAC influence and instead focusing on policies that directly benefit working families, including lowering everyday costs, strengthening labor protections, addressing corporate price-gouging, and ensuring that critical public safety funding is delivered effectively and on time.”

“I’m deeply honored to earn the support of the PFFW,” said Mike Thurow, Independent candidate for WI-6. “Firefighters don’t just talk about service — we live it. As a Captain and union member, I know what it means to protect our brothers and sisters on the job and to show up for our communities on their worst days. That’s the same mindset I’ll bring to Congress: putting public safety first, standing up for working families, and making sure our government works for us — not corporate interests.”

Thurow is running to bring a working-class, independent perspective back to Congress, ensuring families who show up, work hard, and raise the next generation have a representative who fights for them — not for party politics or corporate donors. Learn more at thurowforcongress.com.
