| 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| When Pennsylvania lawmakers pushed outdated, discriminatory policies banning marriage equality, I officiated one of the first gay marriages in Pennsylvania.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
