I think whenever we entertain any of this we have got to make sure that we are getting value out of whatever we are proposing.
John Fetterman
The Public Record
John Karl Fetterman is an American politician serving as the junior United States senator from Pennsylvania since January 2023. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously held the position of the 34th lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania from January 2019 to January 2023. Fetterman is known for his progressive stance on various issues, including education and food security.
This work requirement has been in place since 1996, and was passed with bipartisan support, including that of Senator Joe Biden.
I also plan to introduce legislation, the HAND UP Act, that will ensure SNAP is implemented in a way that measurably improves the employment outcomes of able-bodied Americans.
Hunger is not a Republican or Democrat issue. It is all of our issue that we have to take on.
I will work in this farm bill to modernize SNAP to work for recipients in the 21st century.
We are seeing, in my communities across New Jersey, how SNAP is a powerful program that needs to be protected, and frankly, needs to be expanded.
Each and every one of those people are Americans, and they should have the same access to vital programs like this.
It's significant when a public figure talks about depression is going public with it.
Pennsylvania has an incredibly strong organic farming industry. In fact, I believe it is the second-largest in the Nation actually.
This is actually my very first meeting, so I am just really honored, being an advocate for Pennsylvania's very, very critical kinds of agricultural industry.
The Fetterman campaign in this lawsuit saying they argue that it's a technicality.
I mean, she's an icon. I mean, it's unbelievable. It's an honor. And I'm so grateful. And, you know, she understands what's at stake here in this race.
My doctors, the real doctors that I believe in, they all believe that I'm ready to be serving --
In fact, I don't think that's ever been done before in American political history before actually.
And honestly, of course -- to be honest with you, doing that debate wasn't exactly easy, you know?
Mehmet Oz won this primary by attaching himself to Donald Trump. He ran to the far right of his party.
We funded the police. We funded the police and created a strong partnership between the police and the community.
And Dr. Oz lies about my health again too. Again, it’s the Oz rule again. When he’s on TV, he’s going to be lying.
I’m proud to say that I was a four-term mayor of a community that’s a 75 percent black community here in Western Pennsylvania.
Absolutely with my health is that my doctors, real doctors, as opposed to Dr. Oz, all agrees that I’m fit to run and serve.
It’s absurd. And it’s the Oz rule. When he’s on TV, he’s lying. And he lies about my record on crime.
And just today, we had a poll came out that had us up six points. And that’s a testament to our record and how we have been able to push back on the lies and stand on the truth of our record.
Dr. Oz has celebrated when Roe v. Wade fell. And he has called every abortion a murder. And he also believes that the choice to decide belongs with him, not with women and their doctors.
