It was great to attend the Champions of Change fundraiser in the Strip District.

The event supported Casa San Jose & Pittsburgh Action Against Rape. Two community organizations who provide support to vulnerable Pittsburghers. The value of their work is truly incalculable.

It was great to be in Hazelwood Green this afternoon.

I visited Motional’s Pittsburgh plant to see the latest developments in the autonomous vehicle industry. The research and development done at our universities was a crucial piece of the industry’s creation.

It was great to join community leaders for the groundbreaking of the Esplanade project in Manchester & Chateau.

Our riverfronts are part of the fabric of Pittsburgh. The project reconnects neighborhoods, brings resources, amenities, & more to neighborhoods hurt by urban renewal.

Happy #SmallBusinessSaturday, Pittsburgh!

This weekend, think of the great small businesses across our 90 neighborhoods. Recently, I was happy to join Polly & Esther for the opening of their boutique in Garfield. Supporting small business growth is critical to our economy.

It was great to join Councilman Wilson to welcome Orr’s Jewelers to their new home in the Strip District.

Orr’s has been a part of the Pittsburgh community since 1996. It’s always wonderful to see a locally owned business need to expand into new space!
