DescriptionMonths before John Fetterman was elected Pennsylvania’s next lieutenant governor, he approached Braddock council and offered to resign the mayorship immediately — if they would appoint his wife to the seat on an interim basis.

According to council members present at the July closed-door executive session, the offer failed to earn a majority of council’s support.

Council Vice President Robert Parker said John Fetterman’s offer was not “I will resign only if you appoint Gisele” Fetterman, but rather “I will resign if you appoint someone. What about Gisele?” Others on council offered a different interpretation.
