Lou Correa voted for the Firefighter Cancer Registry Reauthorization Act and thanked the OC Firefighters for their service.
Today, I met with @ocfirefighters Local 3631 to thank them for their service to our community, and proudly voted for the Firefighter Cancer Registry Reauthorization Act. Our brave firefighters risk their lives every day to keep us safe—and I'll keep finding ways to support them. https://t.co/9qqlNwgVST
