I will retire from #Congress this week after 28 years representing #Pittsburgh. It's been an honor and a privilege to serve you. My offices are now closed. Your new Representative will be either @SummerforPA or @ChrisForPA - they'll be sworn in January 3. I wish you all the best!
I was saddened to hear the news that we‘ve lost Franco Harris - a legend of the @steelers, the city of #Pittsburgh, philanthropy, & the game of #football - just days before the 50th anniversary of the #ImmaculateReception. I send my condolences to his loved ones.💛
Today I voted with my fellow @HouseDemocrats to pass the #RespectForMarriageAct, which protects the right to same-sex & interracial marriages under federal law. It's a vote I wish we wouldn't still be fighting over in 2022, but it's a vote I was proud to make. 🏳️🌈
The shooting that took place in Colorado Springs over the weekend was a horrific tragedy. The mix of senseless gun violence & a rise in anti-LGBTQ acts should concern everybody. My prayers go out to those affected by this shooting & I stand w/my LGBTQ friends!🙏🏳️🌈
Congratulations to Summer Lee, Chris Deluzio, John Fetterman, Josh Shapiro, and Austin Davis on the opportunity to serve the people of Pennsylvania. It’s a tremendous honor and privilege!

There's still much work to do, but Democrats have been making progress in lowering costs & putting #PeopleOverPolitics. From prescription drugs, to gas prices, to child care, we will continue to work to provide relief for working Americans.
On the fourth anniversary of the deadly attack on the @treeoflifepgh synagogue, we look back in sadness - and look forward with hope. We remember the lives lost, honor the first responders, and rededicate ourselves to ending antisemitism. #StrongerThanHate
I’m 100% behind @POTUS plan to crack down on junk fees imposed by banks, credit card companies, and other businesses. It’s great to see President #Biden standing up for regular Americans! #PeopleOverPoliticsAsUsual
We’re cracking down on hidden "junk" fees like surprise overdraft and deposit fees, credit card late fees, hidden hotel booking fees.
Even those termination charges that stop you from switching cable and internet plans to get a better deal.
They add up. We're taking action.
I’m outraged that the #Erdogan government of #Turkey has recently detained hundreds of members of the Gülen movement and cracked down on free speech. Giving food and other assistance to struggling families doesn’t justify imprisonment.
If you don’t remember what our nation’s waterways were like before enactment of the #CleanWaterAct 50 years ago, here’s an informative article:

Keeping communities safe means giving law enforcement the resources they need while increasing accountability. House Democrats passed 4 bills to make our communities safer:
✅ Invest to Protect Act
✅ Mental Health Justice Act
✅ Break the Cycle of Violence Act
✅ VICTIM Act
Democrats voted to put #PeopleOverPolitics and increased funding and resources to prevent crime. Republicans voted against it. Democrats are focused on safer communities for all. Republicans aren’t. It’s that simple.
Thanks to @POTUS, many Americans are eligible for some much-needed relief via #studentloanforgiveness. Visit the link below to see if you could be too & apply now!

Let’s get to work rebuilding our infrastructure for the modern era.
Pleased to join @ACE_Fitzgerald and other local officials in breaking ground for new development at #CarrieFurnace site. I’ve been working for years to redevelop the site - including securing $10 Million for improving access with a “flyover” ramp over the railroad tracks.
