Team BLUE PA Trifecta

Led by PAmoms4change - Brittney · 386 voters

Summer Lee has done an amazing job representing PA-12. She absolutely deserves to be re-elected. She is always pushing for working families - pushing to lower costs of prescription meds, housing, groceries, and child care. She is a huge supporter of campaign finance reform and getting rid of Super PACs. She wants to crack down on the corporate price gouging and hold the wealthy to paying their fair share in taxes. She has also been really successful in getting a lot of funding for SWPA when it comes to infrastructure, housing, transit, and clean energy.

Congresswoman Summer Lee is an organizer, attorney, and progressive legislator born and raised in the Mon Valley where she attended Woodland Hills public schools before graduating from Penn State and Howard University School of Law.

Lee worked as an organizer and led voter mobilization efforts for the Pennsylvania Democratic Party – including against Trump in 2016. In 2017, after repeated incidents of violence against students from police and administrators, Summer led a successful initiative to transform the Woodland Hills School Board. Then, she ran for State House, defeating a 20-year incumbent with over 67% of the vote and making history as the first Black woman from Western Pennsylvania in the legislature. There, she brought home millions for community revitalization and championed workers rights, environmental and racial justice.

In 2019, she co-founded UNITE, a grassroots organization that transformed regional politics by electing progressives at various levels, including Pittsburgh’s first Black mayor, Ed Gainey.
