A group of 13 Pennsylvania sheriffs urged Senate candidate John Fetterman (D.) on Thursday to clarify his positions on criminal justice reform, saying they “share concerns” about his soft-on-crime record. Fetterman, the Pennsylvania lieutenant governor, endorsed the release of one-third of all Pennsylvania inmates and expressed support for shortening prison sentences for murderers, the sheriffs said in the letter, organized by Republican candidate Mehmet Oz’s campaign. Oz’s campaign released a television ad alongside the letter Thursday hitting Fetterman over his “crazy dangerous ideas.”
