Pennsylvania families are paying their share. Billionaires and Big Tech should too.

Pay-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.

Housing determines whether families can stay rooted in their communities or get priced out.

Thank you to Governor @joshshapiropa.bsky.social for putting forward a serious, urgent plan to tackle our housing shortage head-on.

Let's to work.

At 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.

Patients 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.

Neighbors 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.

Second shooting at short-term rental in Pittsburgh’s North Side has residents calling for regulation
Neighbors 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.

(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...

Standing in solidarity with the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh workers as they head back into the Post-Gazette newsroom after 3 years on strike. Their commitment to fair working conditions and quality local journalism never wavered.

Their perseverance is proof that when we fight, we win.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette journalists return to work, celebrate end of 3-year strike
The longest running strike in the U.S. came to a definitive end when journalists who walked off the job three years ago showed up to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette headquarters Monday morning to resume worki...

Congressman 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.

My 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!

The 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.

No 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.
Anti-abortion extremists from across the country are traveling to Pennsylvania to target our patients & physicians:

Thank 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.

PA’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.

House 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.
September 29, 2025 at 7:03 PM
🧵(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.

Today 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.

Having 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.
September 10, 2025 at 1:49 PM
Congratulations 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.

Grateful to @cityandstatepa for the chance to talk about the work I’m doing to expand housing access, uplift communities, and fight for a more equitable PA.

Try 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.

The 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. Over 18,000 applicants are still waiting.

Next stop: the Senate.

Had 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.

Lawrenceville, I’m ready! Come dunk yours truly this Saturday at @reppowell.com's Family Fair! I’ll be in the tank from 2:10–2:40 pm. It’s not every day you get a chance like this, don’t miss it!
