TV celebrity doctor and GOP Senate nominee, Mehmet Oz, misspelled the name of his Pennsylvania address on his official declaration of candidacy form.
Oz, who was backed by former Republican President Donald Trump, had been living in New Jersey prior to his announcement of running for the United States Senate seat in Pennsylvania.
But instead of writing "Huntingdon Valley" on his statement of candidacy form, Oz inadvertently swapped out the "d" with a "t", resulting in, "Huntington Valley."
\u201cHave to admit, as someone who grew up in "Huntingdon" and had to explain that it wasn't "Huntingdon Valley," this bugs me.\n\nThere is no "Huntington Valley, Pa."\n\nThere is only "Huntingdon Valley, Pa."\u201d— Sy Snyder (@Sy Snyder) 1655151383
While a town called Huntington does exist in Pennsylvania, Huntington Valley—which Oz wrote on the form—does not.
\u201cDr Oz is so definitely obviously a carpetbagger that he spelled the name of the town he allegedly lives in wrong on his statement of candidacy.\n\nIt's Huntingdon Valley, not Huntington Valley.\u201d— Matt Herdman (@Matt Herdman) 1655170811
\u201c@DrOz Heard you wrote the wrong town you\u2019re supposed to be living in\u2026it\u2019s Huntingdon Valley, PA\u2026NOT Huntington Valley, PA\u2026you just gave proof you\u2019re a carpetbagger\u2026you don\u2019t even know how to spell your town! #DrOzIsASnakeOilSalesman\u201d— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@Dr. Mehmet Oz) 1655145814
Business Insider also noted the address Oz jotted down on his declaration of candidacy form for the Federal Elections Commission was a commercial space, not a residence.
Twitter had plenty to say in response to his gaffe.
\u201c@PoliticsPA It\u2019s a commercial structure. Oz does NOT live there.\u201d— Sy Snyder (@Sy Snyder) 1655151383
\u201c@PoliticsPA No way he lives on top of a some store in an apartment in a neighborhood he can't spell.\u201d— Sy Snyder (@Sy Snyder) 1655151383
\u201c@PoliticsPA As some who is originally from North Huntingdon in Westmoreland County, I can attest that no one, and I mean NO ONE, other than a charlatan gets that wrong.\u201d— Sy Snyder (@Sy Snyder) 1655151383
\u201c@PoliticsPA Now, now: give him a break. When he threw the dart at the map, it obviously must have obliterated the \u201cd\u201d.\u201d— Sy Snyder (@Sy Snyder) 1655151383
Oz was scrutinized last year for using his in-laws' Keystone State address to register to vote in Pennslyvania, despite living in New Jersey for several years, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Spokesperson Erin Perrine defended Oz by stating he was living in Bryn Athyn —a municipality in Montgomery County next to the village of Huntingdon Valley—where "his wife's family has lived for a hundred years."
"Dr. Oz lives in Pennsylvania, votes in Pennsylvania, and has his medical license in Pennsylvania," stated Perrine.
"Dr. Oz grew up in the Greater Philadelphia region, less than 5 miles from the PA border."
"He went to school in Pennsylvania, met his wife and got married in Pennsylvania, and 2 of his children were born in Pennsylvania."
"He currently resides in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, where his wife's family has lived for a hundred years,
\u201c@PoliticsPA You can't make this stuff up. Dr. Oz mispells name of town he allegedly resides at in PA. He is a NJ resident & has been for years. PA had an available senate race so he crossed the border from NJ & ran as a PA resident. He's not a resident & can't even spell name of the PA town\u201d— Sy Snyder (@Sy Snyder) 1655151383
\u201c@PoliticsPA Speaking of Huntingdon, here's the moonrise over Raystown right now. Frighteningly, a lot of people out this way will vote for Oz based solely on the Trump endorsement.\u201d— Sy Snyder (@Sy Snyder) 1655151383
Oz will face Democratic nominee John Fetterman, Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, in November.
\u201c@PoliticsPA Sure hope Fetterman wins. He actually lives in PA. and Fetterman is not a quack !!\u201d— Sy Snyder (@Sy Snyder) 1655151383
If Oz does win, he would succeed the Republican incumbent U.S. Senator Pat Toomey–who chose not to run for reelection to a third term in 2022.
By then, Oz would legally have to reside in Pennsylvania.
