Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman was the headline speaker at a Washoe County Democratic Party fundraiser in Reno, held at the Neil Road Recreation Center, on Saturday, February 17, drawing such notables as Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and State Treasurer Zach Conine.
His message emphasized the critical importance of voter turnout in the upcoming November elections. He underscored the need for Democrats to unite and show up at the polls to re-elect President Joe Biden and Senator Jacky Rosen.
“If you aren’t excited about Biden or you are thinking about sitting out, or even throwing away your vote for some rando third, third party, it’s like you have made Trump your guy,” Fetterman said.
In his rallying call to action, Fetterman warned against complacency, asserting that abstaining from voting empowers figures like former President Donald Trump.
Beyond electoral politics, Fetterman addressed pressing global issues, advocating for the passage of the foreign aid package recently approved by the Senate. The proposed aid package of $95 million provides financial support to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Fetterman stressed the urgency of this legislation, warning that failure to pass it could have dire consequences, particularly for Ukraine.
Fetterman’s visit was such a big deal for Nevada Democrats, and his visit was so hush-hush that not even my wife knew he was there, despite being in the room next, as the City of Reno’s Neil Road Recreation Center building monitor.
