Rep. Christopher R. Deluzio used a Pennsylvania Press Club appearance to urge Democrats to focus on economic security and challenge what he called the influence of Wall Street and money in politics. He also criticized Sen. John Fetterman’s support for the Iran war and discussed Democratic candidates and his youth-sports bill.
Deluzio argued that the American dream should include economic security, access to health care and family activities, and the ability to retire with dignity. He pointed to a Franklin & Marshall College poll in which 40% of respondents said they had “no faith” their financial situation would improve in the coming year. He blamed Wall Street financialization and decisions that weakened manufacturing, and said Congress should address money in politics and the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision.
In a question-and-answer session, Deluzio said he would consider a 2028 Senate run when the time came and criticized Fetterman’s support for the Iran war. Deluzio also discussed his Let Kids Play Act, which he said would address private equity’s role in youth sports, and said he planned to support Democratic candidates in Pennsylvania. He praised Bob Brooks as an economic populist who had built a coalition with Deluzio, Bernie Sanders and Josh Shapiro.
