Today, I received Equality Forum’s Frank Kameny Award, an annual honor recognizing pioneers who have made a defining difference in LGBTQ+ civil rights and justice. Dr. Anthony Fauci was also honored with the International Role Model Award. Quite a Sunday in Philadelphia.

The Blizzard of 2026 has hit Downingtown. Cars are now being ticketed and towed from Snow Emergency routes. Stay warm, stay home, and stay off the roads.

I’ve declared a Snow Emergency in the Borough of Downingtown. It goes into effect tonight (1/24) at 6:00 PM. Once it begins, there is no parking on snow emergency routes and vehicles will be ticketed/towed so crews can clear the roads. Please limit travel and park off street if you can.

🚨 Downingtown Deserves Honesty, Not Make-Believe Mayors 🚨 My opponent, Rich Bryant, calls himself “Mayor” on his website. That would be news to our borough—Phil Dague is our current mayor. I won’t call myself mayor until voters elect me Nov 4, and I take the oath on Jan 7. #SafeSustainableStrong

Trump says the U.S. is the only country with mail-in voting. Ever heard of Canada? Germany? Australia? He’s either lying, an idiot, or both, and he clearly thinks you’re one too if you believe it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. EMD

Twelve weeks from today, Downingtown voters will choose our next mayor. That’s 84 days for me to earn your trust, your support, and your vote. I’ll be meeting with residents, attending community events, and working every day to make sure your voice is heard at Borough Hall.

Trump’s latest word salad: “The intelligence says we don’t know… It was very severe… It was obliteration.” Confused? So is he. This isn’t leadership. It’s incompetence. Time to step down.

If the government’s cracking down on protestors while spineless politicians stay silent, it’s not law and order, it’s fascism in a flag costume, and we’re not fucking having it.

Proud to be endorsed by “Mr. Downingtown” himself — Mayor Phil Dague! Mayor Dague knows what it takes to do this job well: a strong commitment to public safety and a deep love for our community. Thank you, Mayor Dague, for your trust and support — I’m honored to carry on your legacy!

I’ve had to fight for respect, which is why I lead with compassion. But this campaign isn’t about me. It’s about keeping Downingtown safe, climate-ready, and rooted in our Good Neighbor values. Front page of the Philly Inquirer today. Let’s go! #SafeSustainableStrong #EricaForMayor @inquirer.com

Every sign. Every flyer. Every piece of our campaign literature? Union-made. Because we support organized labor, not just in words, but in action. So when you check your mailbox, look for the union bug. And if it’s not there — ask yourself if that candidate truly stands with you. We do.

Wishing a meaningful Good Friday to all who observe. Today, Christians around the world reflect on the crucifixion of Jesus Christ—an act of profound sacrifice and love. It’s a solemn day, set aside for prayer, contemplation, and gratitude. I hope this day brings peace, hope, and compassion.

The Mayor’s job isn’t to chase massive grants to fix flooding — that’s what federal, state, and county governments are for. They’ve got the deep pockets. What a Mayor can do is listen, and take action when neighbors speak up. I did when neighbors told me of a dog waste problem in the park.

Big news! We’re fired up to have earned the endorsement of Her Bold Move! They back bold, unapologetic leaders ready to shake up the status quo — and that’s exactly what we’re doing right here in Downingtown. Let’s build a safer, more sustainable, and community together!

Elon Musk makes junk cars, exploding rockets & lays off thousands—but worse, he's meddling in elections & advising Trump without accountability. He’s not a genius—he’s a billionaire wrecking democracy & working families to protect his own power. Enough.

So true... Before you get upset, because a trans person happened to ask you to use pronouns that you don't think fit, or pronouns that you've never heard of, think to yourself, "Why am I upset by this," and then go back to drinking your second lunch margarita at Chilis.

BREAKING! @VictoryFund has officially endorsed my campaign for Mayor of Downingtown! Their support underscores their belief that I will be a strong advocate for equality and inclusivity in our community. Let’s embody the Good Neighbor spirit and shatter rainbow ceilings in November!

The image features a purple and blue banner with the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund logo, indicating their endorsement of Erica Deuso for the 2025 election. The text at the bottom reads: "LGBTQ+ Victory Fund Endorses Erica Deuso, Mayor of Downingtown."

As an amateur meteorologist, having analyzed the models for the upcoming snow event, I can confidently predict the stores will have a run on French toast ingredients, schools will proactively have a 2 hour delay, and we will see anywhere between 0" and 36" of snow, sleet, ice, rain, and/or frogs.
