PITTSBURGH (100.1 FM and AM 1020 KDKA) Congressman Conor Lamb on Friday announced his running for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania in 2022.
Lamb made the announcement at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local #5.
“It will be the work of our lifetimes to preserve this democracy,” Lamb said in his speech. “It’s not something we can do with tweets and slogans. It will be complicated. But just as Americans have always done, we get to decide what our future looks like.
Lamb is being endorsed by a coalition of 18 labor unions and dozens of elected officials including Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald and former mayor of Pittsburgh Tom Murphy.
“We’re in a conflict today with Trump and his followers about the future of America. I’m ready to win this race and help us move past this conflict. On the other side is our future. And it starts right here in Pennsylvania.”
