Letter to the editor: We don't need Fetterman in Washington

Pennsylvanians are faced with a choice for Senate that very well might tip the balance of power in Washington. Voters should consider what they want for the future of our great country.

Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is, by his own admission, a new progressive Democrat in the mold of Reps. Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In the first two years of the Biden administration, we have seen the partial implementation of their agenda: Trillions of new spending on unreliable green energy programs and social programs that disincentivize work, while also throwing hundreds of millions more of our tax money into our bloated higher education sector.

Fetterman wants to double down on these policies that have led to historic inflation, record-high gas prices and ballooning national debt. In 2020, many voters expressed a desire to dial back political rhetoric. People are now finding out that, with near-total control in Washington, the Democrats have gone too far. This is not the time to throw fuel on the fire by sending John Fetterman to Washington.
