Friend, |
I’m gonna talk about growing up in Pennsylvania, but first, I have to ask: Can you split $5 between me and Jacky Rosen to help fund our General Election campaign before our urgent midnight deadline? I’m *so* grateful for your support (even if you think Wawa > Sheetz).  |
Ok, now onto the good stuff. |
I was born in Reading, Pennsylvania when my parents were just two teenagers starting out on their own. I love my parents, even if Gisele is their favorite. |
We started out struggling. My dad was a union grocery worker at ShopRite, working night shifts. The union way of life helped keep our family together while he went to college. Dad ended up graduating, and got a good job as an underwriter. |
After we moved, I grew up in suburban south central Pennsylvania. I graduated from Central York High School and went to college in Reading, just like my dad did. |
When I left Pennsylvania for grad school, I *never* envisioned myself ending up in public service — not as Mayor of Braddock for 15 years, and certainly not as Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania. |
 |
But I came back to Pennsylvania because that's where my heart is. And alongside my amazing wife, Gisele, I have dedicated my life to improving our Commonwealth. |
When Pennsylvania lawmakers pushed outdated, discriminatory policies banning marriage equality, I officiated one of the first gay marriages in Pennsylvania.  |
When Braddock was overlooked and counted out, we created jobs and got young people engaged. We created a community center, urban gardens, and a free store run by Gisele.  |
And when the Pennsylvania GOP sent their flag police to take down my weed + pride flags, I put them back up. I’m just gonna keep doing that.  |
If that’s the kind of never-give-up attitude you want to see in the U.S. Senate, can you chip in $5 today, split between me and Jacky? To be successful, we’re gonna need to build a huge campaign before Election Day. |
If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and be split between John Fetterman and Jacky Rosen: |
You may like Wawa more than Sheetz. You may say #FlyEaglesFly while I say #HereWeGo. |
But help send me to the U.S. Senate and I’ll fight for *all* of youse, just like I’ve been fighting for Pennsylvania my whole life. |
Thanks,
John
John Fetterman Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania |
