Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz are seeking the U.S. Senate seat representing the Lehigh Valley. The candidates were asked to respond to the following question in 100 words or less:
Issue
What is your plan to address climate change?
Democrat John Fetterman I'm proud to say I've never taken a dime from the fossil fuel industry, and I never will. Republicans need to get real about climate change, and Democrats need to get real about our energy needs. We can't just abandon the people who keep our energy grid running, and tell them to go learn how to code. That's why I don't support a fracking moratorium in Pennsylvania. This idea that we have to choose between jobs and a clean environment is wrong. We must uphold the union way of life for workers in a responsible way.
Republican Mehmet Oz No response was received from the candidate by our deadline.
