What a joy to celebrate Pride in Wilkes-Barre this weekend! I was honored to ride in the parade with some of my fellow county council candidates and meet so many incredible people. Luzerne County is for everyone! We are stronger when we stand together. 🏳️‍🌈💪 #Pride2025 #LuzerneForAll #TeamDawn
Group of six people standing together in the street just before a local Pride parade, smiling and posing for a photo. Luzerne County Council members Brittany Stephenson (center right, wearing a rainbow “Supporting Autism” tie-dye shirt and sunglasses, holding a Pride flag) and Jimmy Sabatino (center left, in a blue shirt and shorts) are joined by Council candidates Chris Belles (far right, in a white t-shirt and dark pants), Denise Williams (second from right, in a white blouse and colorful patterned skirt), Dawn Simmons (second from left, wearing a green top and holding a black umbrella and a VOTE 411 tote bag), and Tony Perzia (far left, wearing a navy blue shirt and cap). A rainbow flag is draped between members of the group, and the street is lined with houses and other parade participants in the background. Luzerne County Council candidate Dawn Simmons (right), a Black woman in a green top, stands beside her campaign manager Nina Ancharski (left), a white woman wearing sunglasses and a gray sweatshirt that reads “Proud” in rainbow-colored letters.
