Washington, DC – Today, the Family Friendly Action PAC celebrates the election of John Fetterman, who ran on a platform of lowering costs for families by addressing the cost of child care, elder care, and prescription drugs and passing paid family and medical leave.

In total, Family Friendly Action PAC had 18,996 unique conversations with Pennsylvania voters this cycle and knocked on 672,601 doors.

“Pennsylvania voters have sent a clear message: Working families need elected officials to give them the tools and opportunities to build a better life,” said Rachele Fortier, Pennsylvania state director of Family Friendly Action PAC. “John Fetterman ran on cutting costs for families and passing care policies to make sure no Pennsylvanian is left behind, and voters rewarded him for it. We look forward to seeing what he will accomplish on behalf of families over the coming years.”
