WASHINGTON — When a bipartisan group of senators from Pennsylvania and Ohio reached across their border to introduce a rail safety bill last week, Sen. John Fetterman joined them.
Despite remaining hospitalized while undergoing treatment for depression, Fetterman co-sponsored a plan with Sens. Bob Casey, D-Pa., Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, and others to try to avert future crises like the one unfolding after a Norfolk Southern train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio.
Fetterman’s office says it’s one example of how the freshman Democrat is staying engaged with his job.
