Pictures from the Ground
We had an amazing time in Pittsburgh recently in Market Square at the 50 Years of Hip-Hop Celebration event. It was great to connect with the Steel City, enjoy some great music, and register some future voters! Also a shoutout to Mayor Ed Gainey and former state rep. Jake Wheatley (pictured middle) for their support!
