Fetterman raises $500,000 for senate run since Friday

Braddock, PA — Just days after sending an email titled, “I’m thinking about running for Senate” and asking for a donation if folks wanted to see John run, a whopping 15,000 contributions have come in from all 50 states and 63 out of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties.

“We are quite humbled by this outpouring of support from the thousands of donors around Pennsylvania and the whole country who chipped in what they could to encourage John to run,” said Bobby Maggio from Team Fetterman. “This level of support is very encouraging. We would be able to build a giant grassroots campaign to fight for every vote in every one of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties — powered by people, not corporate PAC money.”

Starting with the Friday morning announcement that John was taking in a hard look at running to represent Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate, grassroots donors have chipped in more than $500,000, with an average contribution of just $33.84.

“I’m truly, utterly at a loss to communicate my profound gratitude for this support. Thank you. Thank you all so much,” said John Fetterman. “Without question, this display of support has intensified and accelerated this decision process, and a decision will be forthcoming in a matter of weeks.”
