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.

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.

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.
Graphic with beige background and black text featuring a 9/11 remembrance message from Pennsylvania State Representative Lindsay Powell. The text reads: “Today we pause to remember the horror of September 11, 2001; the thousands of lives lost, and the selfless courage of firefighters, EMS, police, recovery workers, and all first responders who ran toward danger so others could live. But remembrance isn’t enough. Decades later many of those heroes are still paying the price. Exposure to toxic dust, smoke, debris and lifelong trauma has led to chronic respiratory disease, cancer, PTSD, and other illnesses among tens of thousands who survived that day. Today is more than a marker of tragedy—it is a reminder: as Americans, we owe a debt of care. If we ask people to run toward what frightens us, to serve in harm’s way, then we must ensure that the systems meant to protect them do not fail them. Let’s honor the fallen not just with words, but with resolve: to legislate, to act, and to care for those who risked everything so we might have peace.” At the bottom right is Rep. Lindsay Powell’s logo, which includes a stylized bridge illustration, the words “District 21,” and text reading “Lindsay Powell, State Representative.”

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.

I stand in solidarity with workers at Allegheny Reproductive Health Center!

When reproductive rights are under constant attack, the strongest way to protect this care is by standing up for the people who provide it.
A graphic with a pink background features raised fists and protest signs in silhouette. The text reads: “Organizing and unionizing is vital for all workers, but it is especially critical for those on the front lines of reproductive health care. The staff at Allegheny Reproductive Health Center are not only essential to the clinic’s daily operations — they are essential to protecting access to care in a moment of national crisis. I stand in solidarity with these workers and call on senior management to immediately and voluntarily recognize their union. At a time when reproductive rights are under relentless attack, the best way to defend this care is to defend the people who provide it.” At the bottom is the logo for State Representative Lindsay Powell, District 21, featuring a stylized bridge over a sun.

The signs say it all: support Pennsylvania workers and stand up for labor rights.

Donald Trump is targeting the NLRB. At a time when union busters hold power at the top, we don’t have time to waste. This May Day, and every day, we must stand with Pennsylvania workers.

In this post-Roe era, the chaotic mix of laws, politics, and control over our bodies has become a dangerous mess—one that’s costing people their rights, and in some cases, their lives. We must remain committed to the fight for reproductive freedom. It's fight for all.

Pennsylvania is setting the standard for ethical AI in state government. Under @governorshapiro.bsky.social’s leadership, we’re improving the efficiency of operations while ensuring workers remain central to our progress. I'm proud to support responsible, people-first innovation.

Pennsylvania is in a housing crisis—impacting cities & small towns alike. That’s why we launched the Housing Caucus: a bipartisan (and soon-to-be bicameral!) group fighting for zoning reform & dignified housing access. It’s time to open doors for every Pennsylvanian🏡

From mental health initiatives in schools to AI regulation, reproductive justice, and more—the next generation isn’t waiting to lead.

Last week, I got to sit down with some of these inspiring young leaders and celebrate their work. I can tell the future is in good hands.
A group of six people standing in a line, smiling at the camera. Two young women in the center are holding official-looking certificates. The group includes four young women, one woman in professional attire, and one man in a checkered shirt. They are standing in front of a table with a blue cloth that has a logo on it.

Not all rewarding careers require a four-year degree—skills, passion & hands-on experience pave the way.

Last week, my colleagues and I toured A.W. Beattie Career Center to see how state funds support future carpenters, chefs & mechanics. Proud to back these vital trades!
A bearded man wearing a maroon polo shirt with a school logo is giving a tour or explanation in a workshop or vocational training facility. He is pointing towards something off-camera while speaking. The workshop contains industrial equipment, workbenches, and safety barriers, with bright lighting and visible ventilation ducts. A group of people is visiting a medical training facility or classroom, where a healthcare worker is demonstrating patient care on a medical mannequin lying in a hospital bed. The room contains medical supplies, shelving with equipment, and an IV stand. The setting appears to be a hands-on medical education environment. A group of ten professionally dressed individuals is posing for a group photo in front of a backdrop that reads "A.W. Beattie Bulldogs" with the school's logos. They are standing in an indoor setting with wooden flooring and a wall adorned with various school or organizational logos. Some individuals are wearing suits, while others are dressed in business casual attire. The setting appears to be a school or educational institution. A group of three people stands in an automotive workshop, attentively listening to an instructor who is demonstrating a piece of red machinery. The instructor, wearing a plaid shirt, gestures toward the equipment while explaining its function. The workshop is filled with tools, equipment, and cars in the background, creating a hands-on learning environment. The group, dressed in business casual attire, appears engaged and interested in the demonstration.

Stalkers are using tracking devices like AirTags to follow victims without consent. My bill would make it illegal to use these devices for stalking in PA. It's time to close this loophole and protect Pennsylvanians.
A photograph of State Representative Lindsay Powell speaking passionately at a microphone on the Pennsylvania House floor. She is wearing a black blazer over a white blouse, and her curly hair cascades down her shoulders. Her expression is determined and focused. The background is blurred but shows the ornate chamber setting. Overlaid text in bold white letters reads "Prohibiting Remote Stalking", with a red box in the corner labeled "H.B. 407." Below, a caption in white text explains that AirTags and similar tracking devices have been misused for stalking, and this bill—referred to the House Judiciary Committee—would make unauthorized tracking a third-degree misdemeanor. The phrase "referred to the House Judiciary Committee" is highlighted in red.
