Supporting Our First Responders Act - Mike Carey knows the importance of Emergency Medical Services and the struggles the industry faces. That’s why he introduced this legislation as an original cosponsor to establish a competitive grant program to support medical transport and EMS.
Establish a competitive grant program to support medical transport and EMS.
Occurrences
Evidence
Carey's FY26 community funding requests include a $5 million Madison County Sheriff's Department Operations and 911 Dispatch Center project that says it would improve emergency response times, but the page contains no EMS, ambulance, medical transport, or competitive grant program language.
The homepage's latest news as of June 27, 2026 is June 24 and June 23 activity on pedestrian safety, preservation, and tax/mining issues; searches of the page find no EMS, medical, transport, or grant terms.
Assessments
Available evidence does not show Mike Carey establishing or materially advancing a competitive grant program for medical transport and EMS. The only concrete item is a community project funding request tied to emergency response infrastructure, which is related but not the promised program.
