I want the Controller’s office to go beyond simply pointing out problems and moving on and work in collaboration with County and City departments, as well as outside stakeholders, to set policy and provide a vision for the county’s future. Our next post in our 2023 primary election season series ‘Political Q&A’ with progressive candidates […]
It’s important for the justice system to meet people where they are and recognize there are different concerns/issues/fears for different communities. That’s not something that’s taught in law school, but something I’ve learned over time. Our next post of our 2023 primary election season series ‘Political Q&A’ with progressive candidates throughout Pennsylvania. Candidates can be […]
I am committed to hosting legal educational series from this court. We can have clinics and workshops on landlord tenant law, livable housing conditions, expungements, traffic law, gun law, bail, and other legal subject matter. As we raise legal literacy in our community, we will see less people taken advantage of and less people having […]
One item the kid’s proclamation mentions is the challenge of housing affordability and security in the trans community. While this is a big problem across the city and its communities, there are some housing forms that are more affordable and appealing for youth. Other cities have created programs like host homes, boarding houses with meal […]
It’s imperative that we pay attention to local races, even if they aren’t our own – that’s how Republicans have trampled on our rights, and that’s how we have to fight back to protect our lives. We need progressive electeds who protect working people up and down the ballot. Our next post of our 2023 […]
The way to forge the reconnection will be bold regional planning and investing in a 21st-century transportation system that rethinks how to connect neighborhoods, commercial hubs, and regional destinations. A connected city would include a reimagined bus system, bike trails, safe sidewalks, and a feasibility study of light rail expansion. Our next post of our […]
Much of the zoning in the South Hills is extremely exclusionary such that multi-family units cannot be built in wide swaths of communities like Bethel Park and Upper St. Clair. We have a fantastic resource in the T, but it can’t be fully utilized because high density housing can’t be built near most of the stops. […]
I firmly believe in the importance of nurturing the whole child, not just their academic achievements. With my experience in educational leadership, I understand that a student’s success is not just measured by test scores, but by their social-emotional well-being, physical health, and personal growth. I will work to ensure that our schools prioritize a […]
[T]he board has passed several policies in an attempt to target LGBTQIA students. Anti-LGBTQIA bullying has increased. That being said, I believe the biggest priority is to ensure that all students feel welcome in their respective schools and the first order of business to ensure that this comes to fruition is to repeal those policies […]
If we really want to serve our residents AND attract new ones, we need to fix the fact that most people can’t go 1.5 miles in Pittsburgh without getting in their car. So, what’s the answer? More buses, more bus drivers, more routes, better bus stops, and dedicated bus lanes. No fancy technology required (although […]
