I have been a compassionate and effective leader in the State House, and hopefully as your next county executive.
I have done that effectively because I've built trust with the community and I've built trust because I've shared my personal story. #ACEDebate 🧵
I've built trust because I've shared my personal story.
When I was 22, my dad passed away from the opioid epidemic.
I share that story because people stopped me on the street and they tell me about their own struggle or losing someone they loved.

Today I'm proud to endorse @BernieSanders for President.
No one elected official, even President, can create an America that doesn't leave anyone behind. Change and compassionate solutions come from our communities -- Bernie gets it. #NotMeUs
I ran for state representative to build a Pennsylvania that works for us all. Through my community engagement in the nonprofit sector in Pittsburgh, I’ve witnessed the resiliency of my neighbors, but also in an intimate way how people have been left behind as we’ve rebuilt PGH.
