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.

The same people who today say that we should "trust science," "DNA can't change," and "it's just biology," when speaking about trans people, are the same ones who said that we can't trust science, that mRNA changed DNA, and biology wasn't real because vaccines are a fraud, 5 years ago. Which is it?

Yes, Stu Rasmussen. I am the first in Pennsylvania and currently, the only transgender mayor in the US.

Erica Deuso @ericadeuso.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Nah, I actually stand up for myself. People are watching, trans kids are watching, and if I let the bigots get away with it, what am I teaching our next generations? Also, I can get sh*t done AND have a backbone. They aren't mutually exclusive ideas.

When you grow up in Burlington, VT, it's hard not to be a progressive!

温かいご支援と丁寧な紹介に心から感謝します。私は64％の票を託され、市長に選ばれました。この結果は、誰かの属性ではなく、地域の安全と暮らしを良くしたいという思いが評価されたものです。警察官の健康、持続可能なインフラ、家庭内暴力への対策、交通安全。どれも、隣人のために必要なことです。これからも、すべての住民のために、誠実に仕事をします。本当にありがとうございます。

I will give you a hint: Bernie Sanders was my mayor growing up, and I lived in Copenhagen, DK for 4 years. I am definitely not a moderate.

I mean, I'll meet with anyone. If I am carrying. #SafetyFirst

Housing affordability. Did you know that there are 3800+ families in my county waiting for housing assistance, while developers are building apartments that start at $2200 a month in my town? And that the HUD calculated affordable housing criteria is only $1300 a month!

Merry Christmas to all, even those acting like all is fine while families split, deportations rise, trans protections cut, hate crimes up, costs up, rich cash in, voting rights attacked, voices silenced, science ignored. We deserve better. God Bless America. Mayor-elect EMD.

Yes, this "ignorant American" does it all the time in Quebec and in France.

I've traveled extensively for work. More of a need to understand what people are saying when they think I won't understand.

For people who might be commenting in languages other than English, I am trying to repy in your native tongue. Being a bit of a polyglot, I can speak English, French, and Danish, I can sorta read/write Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, Greek, and I can kind of understand a smattering of other languages.

Erica Deuso @ericadeuso.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

Dank je. Ik ben gekozen omdat kiezers focusten op feiten, veiligheid, betaalbaarheid en een sterke gemeenschap. Mensen willen oplossingen. De rest leidt alleen af!

Erica Deuso @ericadeuso.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

Yeah, not little-noticed! The sheer amount of interviews I've done tells me all about how noticed it was!

I buy my pastured pork and grass-fed beef for the farm about 5 miles away! Oh, and the local eggs are to die for!

1,770 people thought my plans were better, and that includes Democrats, Independents, and Republicans!

Erica Deuso @ericadeuso.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

My policies are local because that’s what this job is; not meant to stand out. Our county Democratic party could've contributed a little bit to the campaign, but when you beat your Dem. Primary opponent by 24 pts., despite being outspent by $10k, the party doesn't think you need the help.

My opponent is attacking me for earning endorsements because he couldn’t earn any of his own. No Republican person/group has backed him, and that says everything about his credibility. People/orgs only endorse candidates they trust and believe can win—and clearly, no one believes that about him.

Erica Deuso @ericadeuso.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

Republicans run the Senate. Republicans run the House. Republicans run the White House. The government shut down is on them. If you still point at Democrats after knowing that, you’re the reason McDonald’s had to print “Caution I'm Hot” on the cups.

Chester County just took a historic step forward. In 90 days, our first countywide nondiscrimination ordinance goes into effect, protecting residents in housing, employment, and public accommodations. Proud to see fairness written into law for all!

I feel just as bad for the people in the crowd in Utah, as I do for the hundreds, if not thousands of school students, faculty, and staff, who've had to witness children slaughtered in front of them. I can't imagine the horror, the nightmares, and the PTSD they deal with.

🚨 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

Love Story meets End Zone 💍🏈 Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just made it official! Looks like this tight end found his Forever & Always, and she said Yes instead of You Belong With Me. Congrats to the new Blank Space on the roster, Mr. & Mrs. in the making!

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

Erica Deuso @ericadeuso.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

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.

Thank you, @theyseebluepa.bsky.social, for having me and many other candidates at your event today in Treddyfrin township! I look forward to working with you to keep Downingtown Safe, Sustainable, and Strong!

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.

Erica Deuso @ericadeuso.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

The Supreme Court just told trans kids to suffer for political points. That’s not justice—it’s abuse.

Domestic Intelligence? In this administration? Impossible.

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!

Do you think companies won't try to sneak in a little more profit for themselves with tariffs? You think Nike won't take a shoe they pay $10 to make and sell now for $100, and raise the price to $105 before the tariff to try to squeeze more out of you. They did it during COVID. Expect it now.

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.
