ABC News reports:
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) formally announced Monday that he will seek the state’s open U.S. Senate seat in 2022.
Fetterman filed to run in what is expected to be one of the nation’s most competitive races last week, but was cagey on whether it constituted a formal announcement. The lieutenant governor raised over $1 million after opening a campaign account in January.
“Talk is cheap, but for the past 20 years, I have been working to represent, rebuild, and to advance these places,” Fetterman, formerly the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania said in a video announcing his run Monday.
So very many of you stepped up and I can’t thank you enough.
Every 67 counties. All 50 states. @giselefetterman and I are overwhelmed with gratitude by the response.
THANK YOU. pic.twitter.com/KU5nPGsWPL

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 even could.
My pledge to you: to hold core ideals like democracy + the peaceful transfer of power sacred, always. ??

I’ve never had to “evolve” on core values like:
✅ Living Wage.
✅Healthcare a fundamental right.

✅ Environmental Justice.
✅ Compassionate Immigration Reform.
✅ Criminal Justice Reform.

✅ Rebuilding distressed communities.
✅ Power of a 2nd Chance.
✅ No places left behind.
✅ Legal Weed for USA. ??
✅ Your zip code must not be your destiny.
For 20 years, as a social worker, mayor or Lieutenant Governor, I’ve always fought for what I know to be true.
