We respectfully wish to clarify that the members of the Laneville Volunteer Fire Department have not endorsed any candidate or taken a position on any political race.

At no time has the department held any meeting, taken any vote, or authorized any individual to speak on behalf of the department or issue a blanket statement endorsing any political candidate or race.

As a tax-exempt organization, we are committed to remaining nonpartisan and do not engage in political endorsements in order to maintain compliance with regulations governing our status.

Any endorsement that has been communicated was made by a single individual and does not represent the department as a whole or its membership. Each member retains the right to support and vote for candidates based on their own personal beliefs and opinions.

We appreciate the community’s support and understanding as we remain focused on our mission of serving and protecting the public.

- Scott McCoy, Assistant Chief
