Troopers often accompany Fetterman on non-governmental business, including the Fetterman family&#8217;s annual vacation to the Jersey Shore, according to records obtained by the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>. The police incurred more than $104,000 in expenses for Fetterman from Aug. 2021 to Aug. 2022. Troopers in March also traveled with Fetterman to a campaign fundraiser to Beverly Hills, according to expense reports. State police incurred $3,076 in flight, hotel, and rental car expenses on the fundraiser, the records show.<\/p>\n<p>The Fetterman campaign did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The endorsement comes amid an effective wave of Republican attacks on Fetterman&#8217;s positions on criminal justice reform and lingering questions about his health following a near-fatal stroke earlier this year. Republican <a href=\"https:\/\/host2.adimpact.com\/admo\/viewer\/750b23db-1120-48bf-946b-f020757d9037\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ads<\/a> have criticized Fetterman as &#8220;dangerously liberal on crime,&#8221; highlighting his votes as head of the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons to free killers serving life sentences for first-degree murder, including one man who killed an 18-year-old for money to buy heroin.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman has said he wants to use the board as a &#8220;bully pulpit&#8221; to push progressive reforms to the criminal justice system and boasted that during his tenure the board has freed more prisoners than all of his predecessors combined. Fetterman&#8217;s lead over Oz has narrowed from 11 points in a Fox News poll in July to just 4 points in a poll this month.<\/p>\n<p>The endorsement is the second this week from a police union for Oz. The Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police on Monday threw its support behind Oz,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The union for the Pennsylvania state police, which provides security for Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman, on Tuesday endorsed his Republican Senate challenger Mehmet Oz.<br \/>\nThe post Pennsylvania State Troopers Provide Security for John Fetterman.
