When this multi-racial, multi-generational movement sent Summer to
Congress, they sent a champion who understands the urgent needs of PA-12
because she’s lived those same struggles. 

Summer believes that when we fight for community-centered policies, we
must be centered in community. That's why Summer prioritizes spending time
connecting with the people of PA-12 — not corporate interests.

We can’t wait to share what Summer's been up to lately, but first:
Summer’s community-first work is fueled by this people-powered movement.

Summer’s most recent in-district visits have been incredibly productive,
here are a few snapshots:

Summer stood with striking Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers as they
demanded that the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center stop advertising
with the paper until the strike is settled.

Along with Senator Bob Casey, Summer announced a $1.4 million investment
to reunite Manchester and Chateau. Construction of Route 65 and the legacy
of redlining severed these neighborhoods, inflicting lasting detrimental
effects on the community and isolated Black and brown working-class
communities. This investment will help begin the long road to correcting
this injury.

Summer toured Elizabeth Forward High School with Superintendent Keith
Konyk after a fire shut down the school. There she discussed investments
for public schools, including prioritizing safe buildings and
infrastructure so students can continue to learn in the classroom without
interruption or risk to their safety.

Sci Tech to talk to students about everything from gun violence, to
environmental justice, to corporate greed.

Safe communities mean access to clean, healthy drinking water. In company
with other federal, state, and local leaders, Summer celebrated Pittsburgh
Water & Sewer Authority’s 10,000th lead service line replacement.

With Gov. Josh Shapiro, Summer visited Carnegie Mellon University to help
launch a $150 million partnership with the Norman and Ruth Rales
Foundation, to help improve access to STEM graduate education for students
from underrepresented communities.

As Republicans nationwide continue to attack access to diverse books,
Summer was proud to attend the opening of Stories Like Me, a new
independent bookstore in Greenfield where young people can find stories
that reflect their lived experiences. Sections include Black history,
queerness, and neurodiversity.

[ [link removed] ]This kind of people-first work is just the beginning and we have big
plans ahead of us to continue to make our district the safe, equitable
community we deserve. Will you contribute $5 to help us do
the most good here in PA-12?
