John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania native, has dedicated his life to fighting for his state’s forgotten communities. As mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, for thirteen years, he worked to rebuild his community, creating jobs, stopping gun violence, engaging youth, and bringing creative urban policy solutions to Braddock. In 2018, Fetterman was elected as Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor and transformed the position into a bully pulpit, advocating for marijuana legalization, economic justice, equal protection for the LGBTQ+ community, and criminal justice reform. He was elected the junior senator from Pennsylvania in November 2022 and was sworn in on January 3, 2023. He and his wife, Gisele, live with their children, Karl, Gracie, and August, in a restored car dealership in Braddock.
