"Bob Brooks stated that Josh Shapiro requested the firefighters union endorse Stacy Garrity over Erin McClelland due to McClelland's harsh criticism of Shapiro's vice presidential prospects."
"Erin McClelland publicly expressed concerns about Shapiro's suitability for vice president, emphasizing the need for a secure candidate who would not undermine the president."
"The controversy involved Shapiro's former aide, Mike Vereb, who faced sexual harassment allegations, with Shapiro claiming he was unaware of the complaint until months later."
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro reportedly backed Republican Stacy Garrity's campaign against Democrat Erin McClelland as retaliation for McClelland's criticism of Shapiro's qualifications for vice president. Bob Brooks, a candidate supported by Shapiro, revealed this during a conversation with college students. McClelland had publicly questioned Shapiro's ability to serve under Kamala Harris and criticized his handling of a sexual harassment complaint involving his former aide. Shapiro claimed he was unaware of the complaint until months later, and his administration settled with the accuser for $295,000.
