Mayor Matt Tuerk

Democratic Mayor @matt-tuerk.bsky.social and Republican Mayor Daniel Rickenmann weigh in on how they're navigating the uncertainty over SNAP benefits in their cities as millions are scared of going hungry this month if lawmakers in D.C. can't work out a deal.

“You look happier”

Thanks, I just spent a day with Democractic Mayors who are delivering for the people we serve. We have made our communities safer and addressed affordability head on.

Mayors get shit done.

Thank you, Mike. Bloomberg Philanthropies has made significant investments in the capacity of mayors and our ability to lead our cities, helping residents lead better and longer lives. Unfortunately, our efforts are being undermined by an administration that rejects evidence in favor of conspiracy.

Allentown grandfather’s family was told he died in ICE custody. Then they learned he’s alive — in a hospital in Guatemala, they say Family of Allentown grandfather Luis Leon, 82, said they were headed to a Guatemala hospital to reunite with him after he was taken into custody at a Philadelphia immigration office and disappeared…

There are still a lot unanswered questions here, but one thing is clear: ICE continues to wreak havoc on communities here in Allentown and across the county.

Enough.
Enough operating in darkness and shadows.
Enough taking advantage of vulnerable people.
Just stop.

#AllentownShowsUp!
Dave reached out to me to share some concerns about traffic in his neighborhood, so I showed up to talk to him more about it. He also told me about how he shows up for his neighbors.

How do you show up for your neighbors, Allentown?

Young people want government to do something about affordability and allow immigrants to pursue opportunity. If federal government won’t do it, they’ll turn to mayors and local. Up to us to SHOW UP and get it done. Listen: @pivotpod.bsky.social hello @democrats.org

As mayor of Allentown (Pennsylvania’s third largest city, one of our youngest, and majority Latino), I loved @karaswisher.bsky.social and @profgalloway.com takes on NYC mayor election.

Congrats to all the winners in the NY dem primaries! Looking forward to all jointing the ranks of Democratic Mayors Ass’n when you win in the fall. Biggest of ups to incumbent and friend Mayor Evans in Rochester, but way to go @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! Allentown and NYC share a lot of bonds.

🇺🇸 Proud to join a diverse group of folks in the Lehigh Valley, who braved the rain to speak for freedom, hope, safety, and liberty. On Flag Day, we celebrate those values for which our flag stands, standing up and shouting down tyranny. Good work, Allentown. 🇺🇸
