Daily News | ‘We want to be as connected as possible’: Fetterman names Philly organizer Joe Pierce state director for his Senate office
Steven M. Falk / Staff PhotographerJoe Pierce, a longtime political strategist and labor organizer who worked on Sen.-elect John Fetterman’s campaign, will be his state director.
Pierce also said he’ll be a stand-in for Fetterman, who continues to recover from his May stroke. “This role will be a little unique in that ... I’m gonna have to be more of a surrogate as well for John, because we really want him to be able to rest as much as possible to help with his recovery.” He will be based in Philadelphia, which he said reflects an ongoing effort to connect Fetterman to the state’s biggest city.
Pierce said his father, a pastor and political activist, partly inspired his interest in politics. He started his political career in Tallahassee as a sergeant-at-arms for the state Senate.
