This week, Lt. Governor John Fetterman carried every Pennsylvania county--all 67 of them--in his race for the Democratic nomination for the state's U.S. Senate seat. Importantly, Fetterman also visited every county as part of his campaign, declaring no place to red to visit. His campaign slogan was "Every County. Every Vote."
On a single Saturday earlier in May, for example, Fetterman and his wife Giselle visited five counties in the state's so-called "rural T," all in the north central part of the state. When Fetterman was hospitalized with a stroke the Friday before Tuesday's primary, he was campaigning in Lancaster, in the southeastern part of the state.
Here's what the county-level election map looked like:
Indeed, Fetterman's campaign for Senate was the second time Fetterman had done the 67-county tour. He also visited each county after he became Lt. Governor, when he did a sort of listening tour. At that time, Fetterman learned just how popular the legalization of marijuana is in the Keystone State, leading him to make that part of his campaign platform.
Fetterman's principal opponents were U.S. Congressman Conor Lamb from Pittsburgh and State Senate Malcolm Kenyatta from Philadelphia.
