John Fetterman for Senate
Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman is the Democratic candidate for senate. Incumbent Republican Pat Toomey is retiring so this race presents a rare and important opportunity to flip a senate seat, expand the 50-50 Democratic Senate majority (VP Harris is the tie-breaking vote), and break Republican roadblocks on long-delayed legislation that is popular with the majority of Americans.
Pennsylvania born and raised, John Fetterman was born to teenage parents who were just starting out on their own. At the time, his father worked nights to put himself through college. John grew up in York, and later followed in his father’s footsteps to Albright College, where he played offensive tackle for the Lions. John has emerged as one of Pennsylvania’s leading progressive voices for working people, running on issues like inequality, racial justice, and ending the failed war on drugs. He is honored to have been chosen by the voters of this commonwealth to serve as the 34th lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania.
Josh Shapiro for Governor
Josh Shapiro and Austin Davis are effective, reasonable leaders with proven track records of success in government. Josh is facing an extremist Republican opponent in Doug Mastriano who even Republican Party leaders believe is too radical and have referred to as “a catastrophe.” Mastriano is a 2020 election-denier who breached police barricades at the January 6 Insurrection, has promised to discard the votes of Pennsylvanians in future elections, and believes there should be no exceptions to abortion law including in the case of rape, incest, or if the mother’s life is at stake.
Josh Shapiro is a rare public servant who has risen above politics time and again to take on the status quo and protect everyday Pennsylvanians. Josh was sworn into office in January, 2017. As Attorney General, Josh has restored integrity to the office and is standing up for the rule of law and safeguarding Pennsylvanians’ rights — no matter what they look like, who they love, or who they pray or don’t pray to.
He has taken on child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, identifying 301 predator priests and thousands of victims and spurring investigation across the United States. He has twice secured national injunctions protecting women’s access to no-cost contraception as required by the Affordable Care Act. He is fighting our country’s opioid epidemic on every front– including leading a multi-state investigation into pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors
