Gavio also worked on Fetterman's 2022 campaign as well as in Sen. Bernie Sander's, I-Vt., office. 

The Working Families Party is a progressive minor political party whose platforms include raising the minimum wage, increasing taxes on the rich, and environmental and educational reform.

Fetterman's Press and Digital Aide Emma Mustion also took to X earlier this month to share that she was joining Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey's campaign office as a press secretary. Mustion worked on Fetterman's 2022 Senate campaign as well. 

Fox News Digital reached out for additional comment.

"However, if you want to sign onto something that is entirely anonoymous - including NOT identifying you as a Fetterman staffer in any way - that is in bounds if you so choose," the Oct. 20 email read. "The distinction here is that you cannot use your status as a current Fetterman staffer to undermine John's position or otherwise make a public statement that is inconsistent with John's views."

The email went on to stress the office's need to "work together as a team" following the breakout of war in Israel and Gaza.
