Dr. Oz visits Big Butler Fair
FRANKLIN TWP — Dr. Mehmet Oz traveled the gravel paths of the Big Butler Fairgrounds by golf cart to meet potential voters Thursday.
Oz, a Republican, is running against Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a Democrat, for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Pat Toomey, also a Republican.
As the tour proceeded, Oz readily hopped out of the golf cart to share words, handshakes and a big smile with the fair’s attendees.
“It’s really thrilling,” said Barbara Rader, of Franklin Township. “He’s our man.”
Rader said she believes Oz is honest and true to his words. Having lived on a farm for many years, she appreciated that he was taking time to meet and greet people who live and breathe agriculture.
