Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 02/06/2026Pennsylvania families are paying their share. Billionaires and Big Tech should too. 031

Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 04/03/2026www.spotlightpa.org/news/2026/03...spotlightpa.orgHome equity loan firm paid for testimony before PA HouseA lending firm, Point, offered Amazon gift cards to customers who submitted testimony for a Pennsylvania House hearing, drawing backlash from legislators. 040
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 04/03/2026My colleagues and I took an oath to uphold a legislative process that is fair, transparent, and grounded in truth. When a company financially incentivizes testimony—and then fails to disclose it before a committee of the Pennsylvania House—that crosses a serious ethical line. 130
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 04/03/2026Pay-to-play politics has absolutely no place in our legislative process. Offering $50 gift cards to customers so they’ll show up and testify in favor of your company is not just inappropriate, it’s a legitimate insult to the integrity of our democracy. 140
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 12/02/2026Housing determines whether families can stay rooted in their communities or get priced out.

Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 25/01/2026At the direction of the Trump administration, ICE is inflicting danger, violence, and division in our neighborhoods under the guise of law and order. When these federal agents operate with impunity, the consequences are fatal. Stop the tyranny. End the killings. Abolish ICE. 021
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 22/01/2026Read my full op-ed here: sopghreporter.com/2026/01/21/o...sopghreporter.comOP-ED: Pennsylvania Must Act to Protect Safe Access to Health Care“I can tell you which protesters will arrive at which times on Saturday, and where they’ll set up to intimidate patients,” a security guard at Allegheny 010
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 22/01/2026Patients and providers in PA have faced harassment and violence for decades simply for accessing reproductive care. With FACE Act violators pardoned, intimidation is being emboldened. I’m calling for a state-level FACE Act to protect patients, providers, and public safety. 150
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 14/01/2026Neighbors deserve safety and transparency. I’m working on short-term rental legislation to create countywide registries, require clear accountability, and give communities real tools to address problem properties. Housing policy is public safety policy. www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...wesa.fmSecond shooting at short-term rental in Pittsburgh’s North Side has residents calling for regulationNeighbors in the North Side community said the shooting originated at a short-term rental property, and the event has renewed calls for regulation of such properties. 151
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 07/01/2026(2/3) The lack of clear guardrails governing how these properties are used has created dangerous and unnecessary chaos. That is why @repmaryjodaley.bsky.social and I will introduce legislation to create clear, statewide rules for safety and accountability. 000
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 07/01/2026(3/3) This legislation will set baseline safety standards, clarify oversight, and ensure that local governments and first responders know who is operating these properties and how to reach them—so communities are better protected and tragedies like this are far less likely to occur. 100
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 07/01/2026(1/3) Unregulated short-term rentals are putting our communities at risk. The recent Northside incident—just blocks from the site of a deadly 2022 Airbnb party—shows why we need action. www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...wesa.fmSecond shooting at short-term rental in Pittsburgh’s North Side has residents calling for regulationNeighbors in the North Side community said the shooting originated at a short-term rental property, and the event has renewed calls for regulation of such properties. 110

Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 21/11/2025Congressman Deluzio is a patriot who serves with integrity and puts our communities first. If Republicans are serious about confronting the rhetoric that fuels political violence, they might want to start with their president. 061
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 07/11/2025My Open Doors Resource Fair is happening TOMORROW from 10am to 2pm at the Goodwill in Lawrenceville. Free community resources, children's clothing & household items, and a Giant Eagle gift card giveaway. Call my office at (412) 781-2750 to let us know you're coming! 020
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 28/10/2025The federal shutdown is hurting our neighbors. Starting Nov. 1, more than 2 million Pennsylvanians could lose access to SNAP benefits, threatening food security for families and seniors. This isn’t politics, it’s people’s lives. My office is here to help. 020
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 08/10/2025No one should face fear or intimidation when seeking care. HB 670, my state-level FACE Act, protects access to reproductive healthcare in PA—because these rights are human rights. 051
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 07/10/2025Thank you @repmcclinton.com for sharing the Speaker’s rostrum during yesterday’s session. Always an honor to serve as Speaker Pro Tempore & help guide meaningful work in the PA House. 030
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 02/10/2025PA’s housing crisis demands action—aging infrastructure, rising costs, and too few affordable options. That’s why I helped launch the first-ever bipartisan Housing Caucus to advance commonsense solutions for families across the Commonwealth. 040
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 29/09/2025House Dems passed real transit funding—sustainable, recurring, no new taxes, and $600M for roads/bridges. Senate Rs blocked it. Thanks to Gov. Shapiro & PennDOT, PRT got a $106.7M stopgap to avoid cuts & fare hikes, but without long-term funding, riders stay at risk. 043
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 16/09/2025🧵(4/4) For riders across Allegheny County, transit isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline. We’ve bought some time. Now we need to finish the job. 050
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 16/09/2025🧵(3/4) But let’s be clear: this is a stopgap, not a solution. Shifting capital dollars to cover operating expenses keeps buses on the road today but delays the maintenance and upgrades that ensure reliability tomorrow. 110
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 16/09/2025🧵(2/4) I’m grateful to the Shapiro administration & PennDOT for acting quickly to protect riders. More than $100 million in state funds will be used to close the immediate deficit PRT is facing, averting a proposed 35% service cut and 9% fare increase. 100
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 16/09/2025🧵(1/4) I’m relieved that Pittsburgh Regional Transit will avoid devastating service cuts and fare hikes in the near term. No one should lose their bus to work, a ride to school, or a connection to medical care because of a budget impasse. 130
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 11/09/2025Today we remember the lives lost on 9/11 and honor the first responders, firefighters, and service members who ran toward danger to keep us safe. Too many still face broken systems when they need care. We must do better—for our first responders, and for one another. 010
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 10/09/2025Having a seat at the table isn’t a privilege—it’s a right. I’m proud to support the Advanced Practice RNs at Magee-Womens Hospital as they join their RN colleagues in unionizing for quality care, safe staffing, and fair pay. 010
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 25/08/2025Congratulations to the nurses at UPMC Magee-Women's Hospital and @seiuhcpa.org on winning your union! Proud to stand in solidarity with you as you fight for better care for every patient. I look forward to @upmc.com's cooperation and immediate recognition of this union without delay. 010

Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 24/07/2025Try handing in a project 24 days late at your job. See how that goes. As of today, that's exactly how late Senate Republicans are with the state budget... no regard for the deadline yet still collecting a paycheck. 050
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 26/06/2025The PA House just passed our bill to fund home repairs for low-income homeowners, including seniors and folks with disabilities—building on the success of the Whole Home Repairs program.

Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 16/06/2025Had the joy of meeting Sam—a kind & hilarious kid whose family found support at the Children’s Home of Pittsburgh & Lemieux Family Center. From medical care to foster & adoption services, they’re a lifeline for families. I’ll keep fighting for the resources they deserve. 050
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 27/05/2025If UPMC can afford to pay their retired CEO $12 million a year, they can afford to adequately staff their hospitals and ensure women get the care they need. I stand with Magee nurses in their fight to unionize. They aren't just standing up for themselves—they are standing up for their patients. 160
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 21/05/2025I stand in solidarity with workers at Allegheny Reproductive Health Center! When reproductive rights are under constant attack, the strongest way to protect this care is by standing up for the people who provide it. 082
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 01/05/2025The signs say it all: support Pennsylvania workers and stand up for labor rights. Donald Trump is targeting the NLRB. At a time when union busters hold power at the top, we don’t have time to waste. This May Day, and every day, we must stand with Pennsylvania workers. 171
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 15/04/2025Thank you, Rep. Chris Deluzio, for securing $50,000 in federal funding to be used to modernize Reserve Township’s municipal government.

Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 08/04/2025In this post-Roe era, the chaotic mix of laws, politics, and control over our bodies has become a dangerous mess—one that’s costing people their rights, and in some cases, their lives. We must remain committed to the fight for reproductive freedom. It's fight for all. 050
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 02/04/2025If Democrats won’t abolish the filibuster when they have the opportunity, we must use it to defend democracy. Thank you, Senator Booker, for your courage, your leadership, and for reminding us that when democracy is under threat, silence is not an option. 150
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 02/04/2025A Black man using his voice to defend democracy, where a segregationist once used his to block civil rights. Senator Cory Booker has just made history, breaking Strom Thurmond’s record for the longest filibuster in Senate history. 1195

Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 25/03/2025Pennsylvania is in a housing crisis—impacting cities & small towns alike. That’s why we launched the Housing Caucus: a bipartisan (and soon-to-be bicameral!) group fighting for zoning reform & dignified housing access. It’s time to open doors for every Pennsylvanian🏡 0133
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 18/03/2025Pittsburgh Regional Transit is facing a crisis—without $117M from state funding, we’re looking at devastating service cuts. For seniors, workers & people with disabilities, transit isn’t optional—it’s a lifeline. Harrisburg must step up, but I won’t stop fighting. 0112
Rep. Lindsay Powell @reppowell.com · 17/03/2025From mental health initiatives in schools to AI regulation, reproductive justice, and more—the next generation isn’t waiting to lead.
