The freshman Democratic senator’s March 9 appearance will make him one of the most high-profile party members to visit the deep red state so far in the election cycle
Sen. John Fetterman, D-PA, will be the keynote speaker next month at an Idaho Democratic Party annual gathering in March.
The event, the 30th annual Frank and Bethine Church Gala , is scheduled to take place on March 9 in Boise.
Fetterman’s appearance at the event will make him one of the most high-profile Democrats to visit the deep red state so far in the election cycle.
In a press release, Fetterman said, “I ran on a slogan of ‘every county, every vote’ because I think it’s important for Democrats to go everywhere and talk to everyone.”
He added: “We need to be making our case to voters in every part of the state and every part of the county – that’s how Democrats can still win in rural areas.”
The freshman senator said he doesn’t hope to turn the state blue but that “politics is about addition, not subtraction — and margins matter.”
