John Fetterman, Braddock mayor, might run for LtGov

It was in the news a couple weeks ago that Braddock mayor, and progressive Dem, John Fetterman is considering running for Pa Lt Gov in 2018. It's weird, but here, candidates for gov and lt gov run seperately for each office in the primary, then run together as a ticket in the general election.

Mike Stack, the current LtGov, and Gov Wolf aren't on the best terms. Fetterman would much more agreeable to Wolf, imho. Stack's base is Philly and Fetterman's base is western PA.

Mike Stack has turned out to be a real disappointment. When we were at Gov. Wolf's Inauguration and Stack's wife walked out in a fur coat, we were shocked.

knows how to get good press. He's the mayor from Braddock, cares about the other 99%.

I wish him luck!
