Thanks so much to everyone who came out to support Alex Rose at his campaign launch for County Council At-Large tonight! Two months left to help get Alex the 5,000 signatures he needs to get on the ballot - let’s get to work!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out tonight to support Aaron Adams in his race for County Council District 9. In what is one of the most competitive seats in the County, I know Aaron is up to the task of working to keep this critical swing seat blue this November.

Goughnour wins state special election in Mon Valley, cementing Democratic control of state House

Dems said the win "secures the House majority for Pennsylvania Democrats so that they can stand up to Trump’s mayhem in Washington”

Lissa Geiger Shulman | For Allegheny County Council, District 3 | Lissa Geiger Shulman

Looking forward to supporting her in her run for this very important seat, and urge all my friends in the North Hills who live in her district to do the same.

Lissa is a tremendous public servant and dedicated community leader who will make a fantastic County Councilmember, picking up from the great work Councilwoman Prizio has done in District 3 over her past two terms.

Disappointed I couldn’t make it to Lissa’s campaign launch this weekend, but great to see so many come out to support her campaign kickoff.

This is one of the most competitive seats in the county, and Kathleen has the drive and commitment to keep it in Democratic hands this year and continue the great work Councilman Betkowski has been doing there for the past three years.

This is just….devastating news. My thoughts are with the Gergely family and the entire PA State House delegation, especially those in Allegheny County, during this incredibly difficult time.

This past year, I had the privilege of getting to work on two congressional races here in SWPA, both in PA14 & PA17.

Very proud of the performance of both campaigns, with the Dziados campaign over-performing by 4 points, and team Deluzio over-performing by 1.8 points.

LJudicial races matter, now more than ever - so let’s show up for all seven of our great candidates this November.

Keeping Judges Donohue, Wecht, Dougherty, Dubow & Wojcik, along with electing Brandon and Stella, is critical to combating the pending far right wing Trump administration as well as the continued attacks from the PA GOP on our freedoms here in the Commonwealth.

This afternoon, the @padems.bsky.social met and unanimously voted to endorse a β€œYes” vote on all our fantastic Judges running for retention this year, as well as Judge Brandon Neuman for the open Superior Court seat & Judge Stella Tsai for the open Commonwealth Court seat.

The race that surprised me the most this year was State Rep Mandy Steele’s race - where she outperformed β€˜significantly’ in the AK Valley compared to her Dem ticket mates.

Very, very impressive performance from the first time incumbent in a difficult district.
