Today, I begin my fight in Washington for our shared prosperity – for a government that serves all of us, not just the rich and powerful. As your Congressman, I'll fight every day for the common good, grounded in patriotism, always putting people first.

At the American Legion in Carnegie today to remember the Four Chaplains who, faced with their ship sinking, gave their lives for others. Sharing their story not only honors their sacrifice, but also pushes us all to serve selflessly. #PA17

I take my duties on

seriously. The good people of #PA17 can rest assured that although we have ended this violation of our airspace and sovereignty, I will be digging into the threats posed by Communist China and how America must meet them.

The airborne surveillance device was first spotted earlier this week over the western United States, setting off a diplomatic crisis.

This is outrageous. I stand with these workers and join the
@steelworkers
in calling for their reinstatement and the end to union busting. #1u

Bad trade deals with China were a gut punch to American manufacturing. We’ve seen it here in Western PA. Now, China is being allowed to dodge trade laws to export solar panels to the U.S., threatening our domestic solar industry, without penalty. I’m not about it.

We cannot allow countries to cheat and violate trade laws, especially when it comes at the expense of American workers and businesses. That’s why I’m working to hold China and others accountable who have been caught using unfair trade practices when producing solar panels.

I’ll work with anyone, from any party, to deliver for Western PA. Courage, on all sides, is required to stand up to China. I look forward to working with my colleagues to safeguard local jobs and protect national security.

Students and teachers are afraid at school, and with good reason. Over 39,000 students have been impacted by gun violence at school in the past year. We need to ACT and pass the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. It's an important step to help save lives. #GVSurvivorsWeek

One donation of blood can save up to three lives, and it's an easy and safe way to help your community. To wrap up #BloodDonorMonth I'm making my next appointment to donate. I hope you'll join me!

It's the last day of National Blood Donor Month. If you've given blood or raised awareness, thank you! Throughout the year, donating blood is a great way to help survivors with medical needs following a disaster or emergency. Give blood: RedCrossBlood.org
Help save lives. Give blood.

Big companies are price gouging the cost of a dozen eggs to be higher than the fed min wage, leaving the people to pay for out-of-control corporate greed. I’m in the fight to bring down costs and break up monopolies, & I’ll call out fowl profiteering like this whenever I see it.

83 yrs ago today, Social Security issued its first check. And earlier in Jan, this lifeline program got a 8.7% boost to help seniors & other recipients cover their costs. I’ll keep fighting to protect Social Security from Republican efforts to rip away this hard-earned benefit.

The selfless members of the Highland Volunteer Fire Dpt have been serving the community since 1927, keeping the people and property of McCandless Township safe and secure.   Glad Team Deluzio could help celebrate their accomplishments at this year’s awards banquet. #PA17

When people turn on the tap, clean drinkable water should come out. Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that passed last year, federal dollars are coming to PA to replace lead pipes and clean up our water.

@EPA
The Lead Service Line Replacement Accelerators will help communities access funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. This year, we’re partnering with CT, NJ, PA, and WI to ensure drinking water pipes are lead-free.

More than 100,000 of my #PA17 constituents depend on Social Security – hard earned benefits they've worked their entire lives for. If House Republicans try to hold our economy hostage to cut this lifeline program, I'll fight their efforts tooth and nail.

This week the striking workers at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette mark 100 days of their unfair labor practice strike. I stand in solidarity with these striking workers in #PA17 and with workers across the nation demanding the dignity that we all deserve.

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day of solemn reflection to honor the memory of the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazi regime. Sadly, the fight is not over to root out anti-Semitism. We must remember the past and stand united to reject all forms of hate. #NeverAgain

I plan to focus on strengthening our competitive posture with the PRC, reinvigorating our industrial base to ensure competition and readiness, and making sure our military personnel, their families, and the civilian workforce have what they need to accomplish the mission.
