Fetterman wows enthusiastic crowd in local Wilkes-Barre restaurant on Sat. April 30



WILKES-BARRE TWP. — In a room packed with supporters and with the primary election just over two weeks away, John Fetterman’s message was simple.

“Vote for me in May, and you’ll have my vote in Washington.”

Fetterman, currently the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania running to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Pat Toomey, stopped by Bettelli’s Villa in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday evening to energize voters and spread his message ahead of the May 17 primaries.

Standing by his side while he delivered remarks was the fourth-generation owner of Bettelli’s, Jessica Sheehan.

“I’m so happy that he [Fetterman] was able to come here,” Sheehan said. “Through all walks of life, and there’s a lot of different people here, I think that John is the one that speaks to all of us.”

Close to 200 people came out to the restaurant to see Fetterman, who shook hands and took photos with many of them during his visit.
