BioJohn Fetterman has dedicated his life to fighting for Pennsylvania's forgotten communities that have been left behind. A Pennsylvania native, John grew up in York and attended Albright College, where he played college football.
In 2005, while John was teaching GED classes, he was encouraged by his students to run for mayor of Braddock. In his 13 years as mayor, John worked to rebuild his community, creating jobs, stopping gun violence, getting youth engaged, and bringing creative urban policy solutions to Braddock.
In 2018, John was elected as Pennsylvania's Lt. Governor, and transformed the position into a bully pulpit, advocating for marijuana legalization, economic justice, equal rotection for the LGBTQ+ community, and criminal justice reform.
John was elected the junior Senator from Pennsylvania in November 2022 and was sworn-in on January 3rd, 2023. He sits on the Senate Committees on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry; Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs; Environment & Public Works; the Special Committee on Aging; and the Joint Economic Committee.
John and his wife Gisele live with their children, Karl, Gracie, and August in a restored car dealership in Braddock with the family dogs, Levi and Artie.
