Senate hopeful John Fetterman (D., Pa.), a former mayor who is casting himself as the man who "worked to rebuild" the town of Braddock, Pa., missed more than a third of the borough’s monthly meetings during his time in office.
Fetterman skipped 53 meetings as mayor of the Pittsburgh suburb from 2006 to 2018, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Fetterman has been dogged for years by criticism of his spotty work history.
Jesse Brown, a former Braddock borough council president, said in 2015 that Fetterman "should have been at all council meetings," but stopped showing up after several confrontations over his duties as mayor.
He first came in thinking he was in charge of everything," said Brown, who also criticized Fetterman for taking credit for Braddock’s economic revitalization.
“Everything that’s happened in this community, he’s gotten credit for it. The people believe that all this has come about through John Fetterman, but it’s not true."
Chardaé Jones, who succeeded Fetterman as mayor, said Fetterman’s failure to show up to city council meetings eroded his relationships with councilmembers.
"When you’re not present at council meetings, there’s not much of a relationship there," she told Politico.
Fetterman has faced similar complaints as lieutenant governor.
State Sen. Tony Williams, the Democratic whip, told Politico that Fetterman often failed to show up to preside over Senate sessions, hampering his ability to forge ties with policymakers.
One area where Fetterman has shown up to work as lieutenant governor could hurt him in November.
As lieutenant governor, Fetterman’s only official duty is to oversee the Board of Pardons.
Fetterman has embraced the role, voting to FREE MULTIPLE MURDERERS from prison, a record that has drawn criticism from a group of Pennsylvania sheriffs.

Wait until he gets elected to the Senate and promptly drops dead. He’ll miss a ton of votes then.
Unless of course he drops dead during a debate and Dr. Oz does CPR...
I don’t care what political party someone belongs to: if you do this you are a hack. For every meeting missed you should be docked a portion of your salary.

We are in post-political America. Mere politics has been replaced by rabid religion, and parties have solidified around religious creeds. Policies, behaviors, responsiveness, etc. do not matter any more, as long as you can mouth the creed.
I hope all the ideological “purists” come to their senses and realize that a vote for anyone other than the GOP nominee—like him or not—is really giving a vote to this Cretin.
Hey, he has all the qualifications to become a Democratic Senator.
I don’t like Oz. I think he’s a phony. However, I held my nose to vote for Romney in 2012 because Obama was worse, and I’ll likely hold my nose and vote for Oz.
Exactly!
If you or anyone has a picture of Fetterman, please post it. Thank you.
Oz is such a crappy candidate this douche bag will win easily I hear he’s supposedly up 12 points..the problem with Oz is that even though he is well known, many think he’s a slimeball
“Oz is such a crappy candidate this douche bag will win easily.”

I’m voting for Dr. Oz. Hoping that Trump or Desantis will come here to Northeastern PA & do a rally with Oz, who was in Bethlehem yesterday. Fetterman will vote with Schumer.
He’s a typical thug Democrat.
Perfect fit
Won’t require any on boarding
Oz is kinda squishy, but this guy in an effing maniac. And dumb.
Pennsylvanian’s will have a clear choice for senate (pick your poison):
Joseph Stalin versus Osama bin Laden
Communism versus Sharia Law
Oz would be well served to renounce his Turkish citizenship.
Thank you.
