John Fetterman (politician)
John Fetterman (born c. 1969) is an American politician who is mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania. Fetterman is a native of York, Pennsylvania. He earned a bachelor's degree in finance from Albright College in 1991 and then attended Harvard University where he earned a master's degree in Public Policy. He moved to Braddock in 2001 to serve with AmeriCorps, won the mayoral election in 2005, and was re-elected in May 2009. As mayor, Fetterman has drawn international attention in trying to revitalize the economy in Braddock. While the town had over 20,000 residents in the first half of the 20th century due to its proximity to Andrew Carnegie's steel mills, the population and economy collapsed beginning in the 1970s with the decline of the steel industry.
==Braddock==
(詳細はPittsburgh, was founded around the site of Andrew Carnegie's first steel mill, the Edgar Thomson Steel Works in 1873, as well as the first Carnegie library, and developed with the local steel industry. In the 1920s, the town was more densely populated than Brooklyn, New York City. In the mid-1940s the town had around 20,000 residents. With the decline of the steel industry in the 1970s, many of the residents moved elsewhere in search of work, and other businesses failed. In the impoverished urban environment, street gangs such as the Crips became popular. The population dropped to below 3,000 in 2009. In 2008, the average house value was $6,200, and 300 within the borough were vacant.〔 The town had just two operating stores.〔 While the steel mill still operates 24 hours a day, it employed just 560 people in 2010, compared to more than 5,000 at one point.
