Today was beyond incredible. I am so honored and excited to being serving the people of
@Pittsburgh
alongside the most amazing man, mentor, and boss, Mayor Ed Gainey. Let’s go get it!
Huge shoutout to our youth vote that show up and showed out in Pennsylvania 💙
Pittsburgh Ward 4 Precinct 8 is the freshman dorms at

and they knew that democracy was on the line.
SHAPIRO — 94.27%
Mastriano — 5.14%
I know we’re all excited about SENATOR Fetterman (i mean 🤩) but before he gets sworn in today let’s take a moment to appreciate

Gisele is kind, loving, brave, and caring.
PA could not be in better hands and — as we all know — neither could

Allegheny county had the highest turnout in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
With a functioning county committee, incredible + exciting candidates, and a thriving movement built in CommUnity, there is nothing stopping us.
I’m damn proud to be a part of this, Let’s Go Get It!
It is my honor to serve as the Pennsylvania Political and Coalitions Director this year, first for
@JoeBiden
and now for
@KamalaHarris
.
It’s time to make history by electing the first Woman President of the United States.
It’s time to win! LFG 🫡
President
@JoeBiden
is the most pro-Union president we’ve ever had.
He leads with empathy, and always has working people in mind when making decisions.
Proud to welcome him back to Pittsburgh — our great Union Town ❤️🔥
For me, one of the most terrifying things about synagogue shootings isn’t just the situations themselves, it’s the expectation that synagogues need security, guards, cameras, etc
When synagogues have to do that it isolates our community & reminds us of the fear every time we go
A take whose hill I'd die on: America's towns, cities and states need WAY MORE local holidays that celebrate silly folk customs or historical figures. These days should be a normal thing we all have, not just a sideshow we gawk at nationally when one comes around.
RIGHT NOW: Union workers welcome Trump to Western PA from his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Trump kills jobs and undermines workers, and that’s why we’re coming together to reject Trump and reelect
@JoeBiden
in November.
Last night I met with Pittsburgh college student leaders who are committed to stopping Trump and reelecting
@JoeBiden
and
@KamalaHarris
.
Young people have a seat at the table in the Biden-Harris administration — and we’re going to show up every single day for this campaign 🫡
Truly, there are not many times when I go speechless — let alone almost forget my own name — but meeting President
@BarackObama
truly was a moment I will never forget.
After regaining my words I thanked him for standing up for Trans Rights 🏳️⚧️
Today
@KamalaHarris
and
@Tim_Walz
brought the JOY to Beaver County and to meet voters where they’re at and launch a HUGE canvass🚪
Together we’re fighting for our freedom and for the future we deserve in this great county……and we’re having fun while we do it too ☺️
When I found out my friend Idan was killed on October 7, my heart broke.
My heart continues to break every single day learning about more innocent Palestinians being killed.
Grieving seems almost impossible — it’s time for a

Dr. Biden came to Pittsburgh to preach 🗣️🗣️🗣️
LGBTQ+ rights are on the ballot this November, and Pennsylvania is ready to show up and show out for the ONLY ones that will fight for us
@JoeBiden
@KamalaHarris
🏳️🌈🫶🏼
“Donald Trump is a bully to the LGBTQ community … and we cannot let him win. We have to meet this moment as if our fundamental rights are at stake, because they are.” Crowd cheers.
“U.S. Rep. Summer Lee (D-12th District) raised more money in the fourth quarter than any other member of the Pennsylvania U.S. House delegation, new campaign finance records show.”
That’s grassroots people power in action 💥
Election Day is always one of my favorite days of the year. This year I voted for
@SummerForPA
and I hope you will too.
Summer is not only one of the most caring, passionate, & brilliant people I've had the luck to meet, but is uniquely qualified to be our next congresswoman. 🧵
Excited to share some ✨personal news✨
I'm taking a leave from the City of
@Pittsburgh
to join
@Innamo
in her righteous fight to become the first Female County Executive in Allegheny County!
Sara has been a tireless champion for justice & I couldn't be prouder to join her team
There’s only one candidate in PA-12 with the depth of knowledge and experience to fight for our communities in the halls of Congress — that’s
@SummerForPA
.
Today’s debate only further proved it.
hiii DC, it’s so nice to be back 💙
Honored to be here for the swearing in of
@JohnFetterman
,
@ChrisForPA
, and the most badass congresswoman in the 118th Congress
@SummerForPA
tomorrow. Let’s Go Get It!
Pittsburgh media needs to stop calling Bhavini Patel a “newcomer” to politics.
She’s run race after race after race (County Council 2019, Edgewood Borough Council 2021, HD 12 2022, PA-34 2022).
She’s hardly new. It’s just that voters rarely choose her.
Today I officially resigned my position as Communications Manager for
@MayorEdGainey
.
I’ll be staying on the campaign trail with
@Innamo
as her Communications Director.
It’s an exciting time for me + the progressive movement in W PA, but it’s still bittersweet to announce🧵
The news coming out tonight about a heavily armed man threatening to kill Jewish elected officials in Michigan including Attorney General
@DanaNessel
is extremely disturbing
I’m not going to lie, being Jewish & in public service is sometimes terrifying 🧵
Pittsburgh is fired up and ready to reelect
@JoeBiden
,
@KamalaHarris
, and Democrats up and down the ballot!!
Special thanks to Congressman
@ChrisForPA
, Team Summer Lee, and
@32BJSEIU
for helping launch a huge canvass today 🫶🏼
If you’re talking about
#PA12
and
@SummerForPA
’s victory to become the first Black Woman in congress, then let me tell you about
@kacyamcgill
.
Kacy was Summer’s Field Director during the general and didn’t stop for one minute. Their passion & dedication is what made this happen!
I am a much better comms staffer because I started in field. Everyone should start by working in field. Everyone should knock doors every cycle. It’s really not hard and getting out in the community always helps you improve messaging ‼️
I’ve only ever done comms work in my political career but 100% believe organizing is the best comms tool in the political toolbox and good comms/digital folks understand that good comms is rooted in organizing.
Proud to be a Jew for
@SummerForPA
on this Election Day!
Pittsburgh’s Jewish Community is committed to promoting equality, preserving democracy, and protecting Pennsylvanian’s access to vital healthcare like abortion.
It’s time to vote! Let’s Go Get It!
Proud to join with young leaders and college students in Pittsburgh to organize together in support of reproductive rights,

Three years ago today the Tree of Life Shooting occurred. It was a day that changed my life.
I was not there, I did not know anyone that was murdered, and it was not my congregation. But that day, and too many days since I questioned wearing my kippah in public 1/🧵
My favorite part of watching this interview rn is that my mom is the one that told me it was happening and she knew how incredible

A really important thing right now is to make sure our response to

is one of solidarity and unity, education and justice.
We cannot allow for islamaphobia, xenophobia, discrimination, division, and hate to be our response. We must do better if we are to prevent this
I’m energized after having

I may have COVID, but don’t come for my city in your launch speech, break a picket line, and think that we won’t notice and respond. Allegheny County deserves better. Allegheny County deserves

Since we’re 1 week out from Election Day and I never posted it…
In some ✨ personal/professional ✨news I’m honored to work for

Sara Innamorato is the pro-union candidate for Allegheny County Executive — she has shown up on picket lines for carpenters, teamsters, teachers, UPMC workers, painters, and steelworkers. 1/2
Honestly
@BethanyHallam
is one of the absolute best of the best. So proud to support her today and always (and since I didn’t take any pictures with her here’s a pretty lil group 📸)
NEW:

@Innamo
is the pro-union, pro-worker candidate in this race and Allegheny County deserves a champion of Labor as our next Exec.

literally chose
@SummerForPA
to anchor their Pennsylvania Stop Trump’s Abortion Ban event on the anniversary of Roe. I should know since I helped coordinate.
@SummerForPA
will show up for all of our Dems in November. 😤
Everyone that knows me knows I love to talk, But honestly I’m just awe right now. Long post to come, but for now: the collective power and CommUnity that Ed inspired on both our incredible campaign team and throughout Pittsburgh is something that doesn’t come around often 1/2
It’s gonna take all the people power we got to reelect
@SummerForPA
and ensure PA-12 has a representative committed to equity and justice instead of bigotry and discrimination.

says the senator “checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to receive treatment for clinical depression. While John has experienced depression off and on throughout his life, it only became severe in recent weeks”
"In addition to door-knocking and grassroots outreach, Wasserman also emphasized the sense of solidarity among progressive candidates, who gladly lend their support to each other."
Today I became the first candidate in Pennsylvania— to qualify for the 2024 ballot!
In just 24 hours we submitted the necessary signatures and paperwork to appear on the April 23rd primary ballot!
I remember working in Wisconsin in 2016 when Trump promised a Foxconn facility — it never happened.
@JoeBiden

are delivering for the people, and it’s why we’re going to reelect them this November 🫡
Incredibly proud to be represented by

would never.
Bhavini, girl, where is the shame?
Maria is one of the best communicators out there. She is caring, kind, and an exceptional leader. I am a better person and comms guy because of her, and I’ll never stop being in awe of all she does. So thankful for you, Maria 💙
Happy birthday to one of the most energetic, enthusiastic, and down right fucking fantastic people that I’ve had the pleasure of becoming friends with.
@BethanyHallam
, you are an icon and I love you so much. Have an absolutely incredible day ❤️
Don’t even have to read it… here’s 5 takeaways from the RNC:
1️⃣ Trump lied
2️⃣ Vance lied
3️⃣ Project 2025 is dangerous
4️⃣Trump (wrongfully) still claims he won in 2020 — he did not — when Biden won by 7 million votes
5️⃣ You should vote for

The Lancaster Dems know that freedom is on the ballot this year. Working with them to set up this office has been incredible — people are fired up and ready to get to work.
The Biden-Harris campaign is reaching out to every voter, every community — it’s why we’re gonna win 💙
Why the fundraising race matters:
@Lawrence
: "The Biden-Harris fundraising advantage today allowed the Biden-Harris campaign to open a field office in Lancaster, PA - It is the first time that there will be a Democratic field office in Lancaster for a presidential election."
