John Fetterman (D), Lieutenant General of Pennsylvania, formally announced Monday that he will seek the state’s public senate set in 2022.
Fetterman applied last week to be expected to be one of the country’s most competitive races, but he was compassionate about whether it would be a formal announcement. The lieutenant governor raised more than $ 1 million after opening a campaign account in January.
“Talks are cheap, but for the past twenty years I have worked to represent, rebuild and promote these places,” Fetterman, formerly the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, said in a video announcing his run Monday.
‘It’s not rural versus urban, but rural and urban. I’m not going to fight for one part of Pennsylvania, not for one party of Pennsylvania, but for one Pennsylvania. “Just as I did as mayor, just as I do as lieutenant governor, and just as I would be as your next US senator,” he added.
Many thanks to the 37,000 grassroots donors who performed.
Now it is my turn.

In a tweet Monday morning, Fetterman pledged to “always ‘be 100% sedition-free’ as a senator, an apparent reference to a coalition of GOP senators opposed to President Biden’s victory in the January election college. finalize. Retiring Sen. Pat Toomey

If you send me to the US Senate, I will always be 100% sedition-free.
We as a nation crossed lines, I never thought we would or could even do that.
My promise to you: to always keep sacred ideals such as democracy + the peaceful transfer of power sacred.

Fetterman lost the 2016 Democratic primary to challenge Toomey against Kathleen McGinty, who lost 1.4 points in the general election. Sharif Street (D) of the state has said it will also seek the Democratic nomination in 2022, while representatives Chrissy Houlahan (D) and Conor Lamb (D) are also allegedly considering it.
