John, in a minute I'm going ask you for a personal favor: To make your first $5 donation to our grassroots campaign to flip this seat blue and add another voice for working families to the U.S. Senate.
But before I get to that, I wanted to tell you about a point in my life that inspired me to get involved in public service: My time in AmeriCorps.
Waaaaaaaay back in 1995, I decided to quit my job and join AmeriCorps. My site was the Hill House Association in Pittsburgh's legendary Hill District. There, I taught GED classes to young mothers + fathers, and set up the very first computer labs in the neighborhood.
I had just begun my personal and professional commitment to work against our nation’s raging racial + economic inequality. I had the great fortune of serving two years there.
Two years may not sound like a long time, John, but here's the truth: It was all the time it took for me to never look back. I learned in those few years that there was so much work to be done. So I've committed every year of my life since then to making meaningful progress for working Pennsylvanians, no matter their ZIP code, race, sexual orientation, or income level.
Back then, Windows 95 was cutting-edge technology. Safe to say, a *lot* has changed in the last 25+ years. But while our nation's political policies and priorities certainly may have changed, my core principles haven't.
I’m humbled to be in this journey alongside you as I run for U.S. Senate, John, and I'm proud to be running on a quarter-century record of championing these core principles, places, and people.
From my days in AmeriCorps to today, my values have stayed steady. They’re the values behind this campaign, the ones I know you and I share. And together, we can bring these values to Washington D.C.
Thank you for being in my corner. I can't tell you how much it means to me that you're here in this fight alongside me, Gisele, and our whole campaign.
More soon,
John
John Fetterman
Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania
P.S. In all my years of public service — and even a few years before that — my sole focus has been on one thing: Making life tangibly better for working people all across Pennsylvania. If that's what you think PA's next Senator should be focusing on, then I'm respectfully asking you to chip in your first $5 to our campaign today. Every single grassroots donation goes a long way.
