Policy isn’t some abstract game—it decides who is protected, who is ignored, and who gets justice. The laws that govern oversight, corporate accountability, and victim rights are written by people we elect—or worse, by those pulling the strings behind them.

Know who represents you. Know where they stand. And if they won’t stand for you, replace them.

Legislative Scorecards – Where to Find Them

Legislative scorecards help track where elected officials stand on fire safety, first responder support, and disaster response policies. These tools provide transparency on who’s voting to protect first responders—and who isn’t.

1. International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Legislative Scorecard

The IAFF Legislative Scorecard tracks Congressional votes on firefighter health, safety, and labor rights. Search by representative to see their voting record on key fire service legislation.
