Officials with the union campaigned against Rudy Giuliani in his bid for the presidency in 2008 . One official , John J. McDonnell , a battalion chief , says , " I do n’t think the person in Nebraska has any idea yet how we feel . ” " He probably assumes that we think he ’s great . ” UFOA spokesman Martin Steadman criticized Giuliani for not adequately addressing the problem of faulty radios , first evidenced in the 1993 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center . Over 200 firefighters in the Twin Towers were using the faulty analog radios that were used during the 1993 bombing . Steadman added , " We 're saying he had eight years to solve that problem . "
