received this e-mail today from Braddock Mayor and Lt. Governor candidate John Fetterman (D. PA) in support of former Federal Prosecutor and Marine Veteran Conor Lamb’s (D. PA-18) campaign for tomorrow’s Special Election to fill disgraced Rep. Tim Murphy’s (R. PA-18) seat:
"We need leaders in Congress like Conor — a Marine Corps veteran and former federal prosecutor — who will keep their word to the people they serve and won't take orders from lobbyists and political insiders." — John Fetterman
There's a huge special election happening here in Southwestern Pennsylvania, and all signs point to flipping PA-18 — a district that went for Trump by as much as 20 points in 2016 — from red to blue if progressives like us keep working to get out every vote until the polls close tomorrow.
After a poll showed Conor Lamb up by three points against his extremist opponent Rick Saccone, Republicans panicked and started spending millions to take Conor's campaign down with attack ads.
But if you know anything about the working families that make up the cities and towns of the 18th, it's that they don't go down without a fight.
Over the course of the last year, Trump has made it clear that he is in no way prepared to tackle the challenges facing our region — from the opioid crisis, to stagnant wages.
Conor's message has broken through because he's talking about the real issues that face working families every day — not the empty political rhetoric that is driving us further and further apart. That's why people across Southwestern Pennsylvania are stepping up more than ever before to get out the vote — but we can't let up for a single second.
Thanks for standing with us,
-Team Fetterman
