Here we go, you might not know who John Fetterman is, but he is probably the best politician other than Bernie (he was the only candidate in 2018 in PA to endorse Bernie)

Who is he?



Oh god he looks like lurch, well let me fill you in on what he did before becoming LT Gov of PA

Harvard Educated.

quote:

After living in Braddock for four years, attracted by what he called the town's "malignant beauty", Fetterman ran against the incumbent mayor in 2005 and won by a single vote. As the part-time mayor, Fetterman earned $110.22 a month in 2007. His full-time job, directing the Out-Of-School-Youth program, paid around $30,000 annually.

He won this election by telling kids that he help to get back on the right track to vote.

Show me another mayor that would do this:

quote:

Fetterman's commitment to the community of Braddock is shown with various tattoos. On his left arm are the numbers 15104 - Braddock's ZIP Code, and on the right, the dates of five murders that occurred in the town since he was elected mayor.

quote:

Following his election, Fetterman initiated youth and art programs, created a community center, and has tried to initiate development of the town's mostly ruined buildings and poor economy. With family money, Fetterman purchased the town's First Presbyterian Church before demolition for $50,000, living in the basement for several months.



He's not officially running for Senate yet, but he will

he's also Extremely Online; tweets don't embed right for me so I might not have to link both of these but he is a cool dude who voluntarily left a chance at lucrative jobs to instead try to save a dead-rear end town and he is cool and good. anyway,

i feel like him just existing has kept wolf from being the full succ elemental you would expect from the former mayor of york. gave him some spine so we got redistricting and septa projects

i wonder if fetterman has gotten shapiro really high. he looks like a huge nerd so i imagine he just would have gotten completely wasted from it

Wolf was never mayor of York, he's from York but this is his first elected office. He owned (still owns?) a kitchen cabinet company. And don't forget Fetterman is new, for his first term we had lt. governor mike stack who i dont actually know much about other then him and his wife are assholes.

Yes probably, BUT

Shapiro, who is very popular and very succ, is almost surely going to make run at governor and Fetterman for senate means that there will be something on the ballot for everyone and that combination is probably the best chance PA has to not get crushed in 2022: Revenge of the Chuds
