I toured the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania’s Downtown Teen Center and heard directly from our youth helping to shape this space. I look forward to continuing to see their impactful work. When we invest in the next generation, we invest in a stronger future for everyone.

The labor movement is strong in Western PA. I was grateful to meet with local labor leaders to hear directly about what workers are facing & discuss ways to deliver solutions for working families from the federal level all the way home. We’re stronger when workers stand together.

Thank you, RHLS, for fighting every day to keep Pennsylvanians housed.

I’m honored to receive the Federal Housing Equity Award from Regional Housing Legal Services alongside local leaders. I’ll keep fighting for the federal investments and protections needed to make housing affordable and help families stay in the communities they call home.

It was wonderful to join the Homeless Children’s Education Fund to kick off Homeless Children’s Awareness Month. Children deserve to focus on being kids, not worrying about where they'll sleep that night. HCEF is working to ensure every child has that stability. I'm proud to support their mission.

Grateful to everyone who has put in the work over the years to make this possible, and proud to celebrate this ribbon-cutting.

Community means showing up for your neighbors when they need you most. The new Holy Spirit Campus at The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Council of Pittsburgh will bring critical resources, services, and support under one roof for families across the Mon Valley.

Pittsburgh is home to some of the country’s most exciting innovations in clean energy & advanced manufacturing. I toured SeaLion Energy’s new South Side facility to learn more about their work advancing safer, longer-lasting, and more sustainable batteries.

We have a collective responsibility to ensure that. We need strong regulations to protect our civil rights, workplace, democracy, environment, and our health.

The workers who keep Western PA powered deserve more than our gratitude. They deserve a voice at work. Nearly 1,000 Duquesne Light workers with IBEW Local 29 are on strike, fighting for safety, job security, and a fair contract. I stand with working people.

ICE abducted Salah Sarsour for speaking out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Now Trump is trying to deport him after nearly 30 years in America. This is an attack on free speech and another attempt to silence Palestinian human rights advocacy. Free Salah Sarsour. Abolish ICE.

Today marks 50 years of the Hyde Amendment. For 50 years, Hyde has denied abortion coverage to millions of people who rely on federally funded health care. We cannot talk about protecting women while denying working-class people the care they need. Abortion care is health care. End Hyde.

The Trump admin is weaponizing Title IX to justify its hateful agenda, but recent events have shown we need more protections for students against sexual harassment & assault, not less. Protecting women means holding perpetrators accountable, not targeting trans students.

I'm proud to have secured federal funds for Greenfield Elementary earlier this year and introduced the Revitalizing America's Schoolyards Act to make our communities greener, safer, and more accessible. When we invest in our schools, we’re investing in futures filled with opportunity and joy.

Our communities are stronger when our small businesses can thrive. From neighborhood shops to family-owned restaurants, these businesses create jobs, build wealth, and keep our communities connected.

Clairton deserves spaces like this gem that invest in its people and build a stronger future for the Mon Valley.
