Last week, @urapgh's OwnPGH program announced its 100th closing! This program offers up to $90,000 in grants for people at or below 80% of the Area Median Income looking to buy a home. Read more about the incredible impact this is having on our region: wesa.fm/development-tr…

Last month, I visited the home of Pamela and Ivan Schrank, a couple in Murrysville who recently discovered a leaky abandoned well on their property in Westmoreland County. During my visit, Pamela described how she got dizzy and almost fainted while gardening in her backyard…
Our region’s health and economy suffer while we allow these wells to pollute our communities without accountability or plans to plug them.
These abandoned wells not only contribute to the climate crisis by leaking methane, but they also expose our families to cancer-causing toxins like benzene, leave our homes vulnerable to explosive gasses, and lower property values—making it tougher for families to maintain and…
Across the country, there are around 3 million abandoned oil and gas wells in urgent need of remediation or plugging. In Pennsylvania, there are well over 350,000 abandoned wells, but only 27,000 of these have been identified and documented in order to be plugged.
🚨 HUGE NEWS 🚨 Despite the allegations that progressives "can't get stuff done," the full house passed my Bipartisan Abandoned Wells Research and Remediation Act. Let's break down what the problem is, and what this bill would do to fix it. (1/🧵)

If you’re a Pennsylvanian who wants to get more involved in the campaign, please feel free to DM me. Can’t wait to connect and win this thing together in November.
Our campaign is hiring a bunch of digital staff to do innovative work in PA this cycle. Please consider applying and spread the word. Deputy Director Roles: rb.gy/yncv2n + rb.gy/kfooo7 Associate Roles: rb.gy/nm1f15 + rb.gy/0pok2d
Grateful to be on such an incredible Pennsylvania team alongside @NikkiliaLu, @BrendanMcP, @KellanWhite, @KunalAtit, @TheJack91, @SamWasserman_ and so many others. This campaign couldn’t have assembled a better team to win PA, and it’s an honor to join them.
*some personal news* I’ve joined the Biden-Harris campaign as the Pennsylvania Content & Mobilization Director. Whatever your reason (and there are many), we need to re-elect @JoeBiden this November.
Today we gathered together to mourn all all our brothers and sisters who were killed on the job. We will remember them, and we will keep fighting for safer working conditions and organizing rights for all workers — because we know that unions save lives. #WorkersMemorialDay

y'all #HD28 has a non-serious nominee for State House
Today marks the 50th anniversary of @WYEP's first broadcast! It was wonderful to join the crew in-studio and deliver a proclamation recognizing five decades of Pittsburgh’s independent music source. 🎶
I'm glad the full House passed my bill and it's headed to the Senate. The people of Pennsylvania do not want abandoned oil and gas wells to continue leaking toxins into our homes and communities. We demand better. wesa.fm/politics-gover…
This bill will authorize a new research, development, and demonstration program at the Department of Energy to locate, identify, and address the problems associated with abandoned oil and gas wells. This will enhance our ability to locate these wells and direct research towards…
We cannot leave leaky oil and gas wells from the 1800s to continue poisoning and endangering our communities. If the Senate doesn't pass my bill, it will remain nearly impossible to track every orphaned and abandoned well, and too expensive to plug or remediate them.
My district already suffers from some of the worst air quality in the nation and serious rates of exposure to toxins in our water. These communities also suffer from high rates of asthma and COPD and exposure to lead in our water.
Pennsylvania has more abandoned wells than any other state except Texas. Many of these wells that pollute our communities were drilled in the mid-1800s, decades before regulations existed to properly track and document them.
However, until Congress takes action to invest in the identification and remediation of abandoned wells, starting with the passage of my bill, tens of thousands of people in my district and across Pennsylvania will continue to suffer the consequences.
Fortunately, she and her husband Ivan caught the leakage in time to reach out to the @PennsylvaniaDEP to begin the process of plugging the well and preventing permanent harm to their family’s health and the value of their property. penncapital-star.com/energy-environ…
Last month, I visited the home of Pamela and Ivan Schrank, a couple in Murrysville who recently discovered a leaky abandoned well on their property in Westmoreland County. During my visit, Pamela described how she got dizzy and almost fainted while gardening in her backyard…
Our region’s health and economy suffer while we allow these wells to pollute our communities without accountability or plans to plug them.
These abandoned wells not only contribute to the climate crisis by leaking methane, but they also expose our families to cancer-causing toxins like benzene, leave our homes vulnerable to explosive gasses, and lower property values—making it tougher for families to maintain and…
Across the country, there are around 3 million abandoned oil and gas wells in urgent need of remediation or plugging. In Pennsylvania, there are well over 350,000 abandoned wells, but only 27,000 of these have been identified and documented in order to be plugged.
🚨 HUGE NEWS 🚨 Despite the allegations that progressives "can't get stuff done," the full house passed my Bipartisan Abandoned Wells Research and Remediation Act. Let's break down what the problem is, and what this bill would do to fix it. (1/🧵)
