I toured the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania’s Downtown Teen Center and heard directly from our youth helping to shape this space. I look forward to continuing to see their impactful work. When we invest in the next generation, we invest in a stronger future for everyone.

The labor movement is strong in Western PA. I was grateful to meet with local labor leaders to hear directly about what workers are facing & discuss ways to deliver solutions for working families from the federal level all the way home. We’re stronger when workers stand together.

I’m honored to receive the Federal Housing Equity Award from Regional Housing Legal Services alongside local leaders. I’ll keep fighting for the federal investments and protections needed to make housing affordable and help families stay in the communities they call home.

It was wonderful to join the Homeless Children’s Education Fund to kick off Homeless Children’s Awareness Month. Children deserve to focus on being kids, not worrying about where they'll sleep that night. HCEF is working to ensure every child has that stability. I'm proud to support their mission.

Community means showing up for your neighbors when they need you most. The new Holy Spirit Campus at The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Council of Pittsburgh will bring critical resources, services, and support under one roof for families across the Mon Valley.

Pittsburgh is home to some of the country’s most exciting innovations in clean energy & advanced manufacturing. I toured SeaLion Energy’s new South Side facility to learn more about their work advancing safer, longer-lasting, and more sustainable batteries.

Western PA deserves infrastructure that is safe & reliable I’m proud to partner with @deluzio.house.gov to help bring over $11 million in federal funding to Pittsburgh International Airport for critical runway & lighting upgrades. This is your tax dollars at work, right here at home.

Rep. Summer Lee @repsummerlee.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Today I joined organizers, researchers, workers, and community leaders at the Community-Centered AI Infrastructure Summit @cmu.edu to talk about what AI innovations should look like in Pennsylvania. Leading means ensuring AI actually improves life for all of us, not just CEOs and oligarchs.

Today marks 50 years of the Hyde Amendment. For 50 years, Hyde has denied abortion coverage to millions of people who rely on federally funded health care. We cannot talk about protecting women while denying working-class people the care they need. Abortion care is health care. End Hyde.

I'm proud to have secured federal funds for Greenfield Elementary earlier this year and introduced the Revitalizing America's Schoolyards Act to make our communities greener, safer, and more accessible. When we invest in our schools, we’re investing in futures filled with opportunity and joy.

Rep. Summer Lee @repsummerlee.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Our communities are stronger when our small businesses can thrive. From neighborhood shops to family-owned restaurants, these businesses create jobs, build wealth, and keep our communities connected.

Clairton deserves spaces like this gem that invest in its people and build a stronger future for the Mon Valley.

Rep. Summer Lee @repsummerlee.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

So honored to celebrate the grand opening of the new Clairton Public Library! I know firsthand that libraries are cornerstones of our communities. They're places where our kids can dream big, families can gather, and neighbors can find opportunity.

34 new homes. Permanent affordability. Wraparound support. Yesterday we celebrated Uptown Flats in Pittsburgh, a $22.2M investment in housing our neighbors can afford, made possible by federal affordable housing tax credits. This is what happens when we invest in housing & put people first.

Clearfield County extended its contract with ICE & GEO Group for another six months. Corporations profit off people’s pain, while politicians profit off fear. There shouldn't be earnings calls for human detention, because NO ONE should profit from people being locked in cages.

Transit connects our communities to jobs, schools, healthcare + each other. Working with regional partners, we helped bring home nearly $83M for new T cars. And yesterday I met with Pittsburgh Regional Transit about what we can deliver next. Pittsburgh deserves transit that works for everyone.

Republicans are more focused on how unions are spending their voluntary dues than on the corporations that are union-busting and keeping wages stagnant during an affordability crisis. Talk about out of touch.

Today is Roberto Clemente Day, marking the first day of Hispanic Heritage Month and honoring the legacy of one of Pittsburgh’s greatest icons. As a Pittsburgh Pirate, Clemente made history on the baseball field while fighting for the dignity of Latino players.

I met with Starbucks Workers United (SBWU) in PA-12 to hear what they’re experiencing on the job and what they’re fighting for. Every worker deserves fair wages, strong benefits, & a voice in their workplace. Starbucks needs to come to the table and bargain in good faith.

Our small town Main Streets won’t survive without the investments needed to make their businesses thrive. I loved spending the afternoon in Munhall to see the progress underway to make this corridor more accessible and engaging. Thank you Mayor Falce & Representative Goughnour for the tour!

This Suicide Prevention Month, let’s check in on our loved ones, make space for honest conversations, and remind our neighbors that they don’t have to face difficult moments alone. Here are some resources for anyone who may need support.

Rep. Summer Lee @repsummerlee.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Revitalization should never mean pushing people out. Today in East Hills, I joined Rising Tide Partners & community leaders to see their work transforming vacant properties into affordable homes and investing in the people who have called this neighborhood home for generations.

Rep. Summer Lee @repsummerlee.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

There’s no substitute for seeing our public schools firsthand. Today we met with educators & staff in the Upper and Lower schools at East Allegheny to see the work happening to support students. Thank you to Superintendent Joe DiLucente & Principal R.J. Long for welcoming us!

Rep. Summer Lee @repsummerlee.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Standing up for working people has always been at the heart of my work. And that fight has only grown more urgent. This Labor Day, I’m proud to keep fighting for strong unions, higher wages, safe workplaces, & an economy where working people, not corporate interests, come first.

Rep. Summer Lee @repsummerlee.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Every child deserves a safe place to just be a kid. That’s why I introduced the Revitalizing America’s Schoolyards Act earlier this year to bring more investments like this across the country. Thank you to Trust of Public Land, educators, & community partners who made this vision a reality.

Rep. Summer Lee @repsummerlee.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Today at Greenfield Elementary, we celebrated a new schoolyard that will serve not only our students but hundreds of our neighbors. I’m proud to have secured $400K in community project funding to help transform this schoolyard into a greener space for kids and families.

Rep. Summer Lee @repsummerlee.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Teachers & families are struggling to afford school supplies in an increasingly expensive world. I'm introducing the Access to School Supplies Act with @repjahanahayes.bsky.social to ensure students & educators have the supplies needed, at no cost. Education isn’t just for those who can afford it.

The 14th Amendment makes it clear: if you were born here, you're a citizen. Birthright citizenship doesn’t depend on your skin color, your parents, your wealth, or whether Republicans think you’re the “right” kind of American.

Excited to announce $82.7 million in federal funding for the T! This investment will help replace old train cars & make public transit safer for thousands of riders who rely on it every day. I’m proud to partner with our local and federal leaders to support our PRT system & keep our region moving.

Rep. Summer Lee @repsummerlee.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Community safety relies on trust. Trump and ICE are destroying it on purpose. Our communities aren't safer if they're afraid of their government or afraid to speak out. It just makes them easier to control. That's what authoritarianism looks like.

Federal investments should make a real difference in people’s everyday lives. The future Wilford A. Payne Medical Building in Homewood will bring community resources under one roof. Support for federally qualified health centers is more important than ever. I’m proud to support this project.

Western PA powered this country, but when the industry moved on the pollution stayed behind. Proud to celebrate over $1 million I secured for Westmoreland County to help clean up the Biddle Mine’s Irwin discharge, which dumps millions gallons of polluted water into the Turtle Creek Watershed daily.

Community is what makes a place feel like home. It was great joining Rankin’s Community Day and commemorating West Homestead’s 125th anniversary with neighbors, families, and local leaders. Proud to celebrate the people and history that make our region so special.

Rep. Summer Lee @repsummerlee.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

The Mon Valley has never lacked pride, talent, or people willing to put in the work. What it has lacked is investment and commitment. We’re fighting to change that by putting federal dollars to work to restore homes, expand affordable housing, & help families put down roots.

From being a hub for Black Pittsburgh to hosting some of the greatest names in jazz, the New Granada has always been part of the Hill District’s history. I was proud to celebrate its restoration & the opening of Pitt’s Community Engagement Center, carrying that legacy forward.

Their work goes beyond food. They have a pet pantry, clothing room, banking resourcesh, and an on-site doctor to help meet the diverse needs of our communities.
