Glad to attend another fantastic Aspinwall Chamber of Commerce event - Fall in the Wall. Sorry for lack of kids activity photos, I was holding balloon animals and dragging my children out of the bounce houses!

I had a great time knocking doors with Mark Schmidt & @lissaforallegheny.bsky.social - canvassing has taught me that talking to strangers about local government isn’t as scary as I thought it would be! After all, a stranger is just a friend you haven’t met yet ♥️🦌

Glad to catch the ribbon cutting for Allegheny RiverTrail Park’s new nature play space. My children enjoyed checking out the new climber and the other fun activities!

It was a pleasure to see so many folks yesterday evening and contribute to the Shaler Area School District Backpack Initiative. No child should be hungry because school isn't in session or because their family can't afford to put food on the table. Great work @shalerdemcommittee.bsky.social !

There was so much energy last night at the West Deer Democratic Cmte candidate meet and greet. Wonderful to hear from so many talented community members seeking to serve on the Board of Supervisors and Deer Lakes School Board. I enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting supporters from across the Twp!

Enjoyed the Alley Bash in Aspinwall! It was wonderful catching up with members of borough council, seeing the new Foxwall EMS ambulance, and meeting new business owners who are focused on community in order to grow their bottom line and check out those pedestrian flags for crosswalk safety! 😍
