Kurt Vile endorses John Fetterman for Senate
The Philly rocker encouraged a vote for his home state’s Democratic nominee for senate.
Philly-born-and-raised singer-songwriter Kurt Vile has endorsed John Fetterman, Pennsylvania's Lieutenant Governor and the state's Democratic candidate for Senate.
The endorsement was sent out in an email from the Fetterman campaign. "It’s Kurt Vile," the email begins. "You might know me as Philadelphia’s Constant Hitmaker, I am a PROUD Philadelphia native. Heck, Mayor Nutter declared August 28 ‘Kurt Vile Day’ in Philadelphia,” the email reads. “We want the best for our kids, and I know Fetterman will fight for a better future for my family.”
Read the full email below. Fetterman's election against Republican Mehmet Oz takes place on Tuesday, November 8 during the midterm elections. Check your voter registration status here.
(watch my moves), Kurt Vile's most recent album, was released in April 2022.
Hi [Recipient]!
It’s Kurt Vile. You might know me as Philadelphia’s Constant Hitmaker, I am a PROUD Philadelphia native. Heck, Mayor Nutter declared August 28 ‘Kurt Vile Day’ in Philadelphia.
I’m on tour of the U.S. now with my band the Violators, so I’ll keep this quick.
I’m reaching out today about my guy, John Fetterman. The truth is that Fetterman has been fighting for Pennsylvania probably longer than I’ve been messing around with a guitar.
My wife and I have two young daughters we’re raising right here in PA. We want the best for our kids, and I know Fetterman will fight for a better future for my family.
The Fetterman campaign is also the only candidate in PA running for a U.S. Senate seat supporting marijuana legalization.
Thanks,
Kurt Vile 🎸
