Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is set to open a new office in Pittsburgh, his home city, in a bid to increase his presence in the region.
The office, which is scheduled to open in late January, will serve as a base from which Fetterman can further expand his advocacy for greater economic opportunities and improved health care in the Steel City.
The office will provide a physical space for constituents to interact with the senator and his staff, as well as to receive assistance with a variety of services, including obtaining state permits and navigating healthcare and government programs.
“I am thrilled to announce the opening of my Pittsburgh office,” Fetterman said in a statement. “This new office will allow me to continue to engage with the people of Pittsburgh and ensure that the voices of the city are heard in Harrisburg and Washington, D.C.”
Fetterman, who has served in the state Senate since 2016, has long been an advocate for Pittsburgh and its surrounding communities. During his time in office, he has led a number of initiatives to bring greater economic opportunity to Pittsburgh, including advocating for increased access to healthcare, job training, and educational assistance.
The senator has also been an outspoken voice on the state of healthcare in Pennsylvania, calling for the expansion of Medicaid and the implementation of a single-payer system.
In addition to his advocacy work, Fetterman has also been a vocal proponent of Pittsburgh’s burgeoning tech industry, most notably through his work with Carnegie Mellon University’s TechBridge program.
The opening of Fetterman’s office in Pittsburgh is a clear sign that he intends to continue to make the city a major focus of his legislative agenda. With the office, the senator will be able to better engage with constituents, further his advocacy for increased economic opportunities, and provide a greater presence in the city.
