Dr. Mehmet Oz makes appeal to Butler area GOP voters
BUTLER TWP — About 100 people sat in The Back Alley and Family Bowlaway game room Tuesday afternoon for a town hall meeting hosted by Dr. Mehmet Oz as part of his campaign for U.S. Senate.
Oz, a Republican, said he is campaigning for the seat as an outsider to politics. He said as an outsider and longtime television personality, he “cannot be bought,“ and he can reach a large audience of voters.
He also said his experience working in medicine led him to question many of the systems in place that regulate the medical industry.
“People care and they are tired of being silenced and not being able to say what they believe,” Oz said. “I’m a porcupine and I like when I am getting at the issues that are truthful and helpful to people, I have done it my whole career.”
