Last night we saw historic wins from Michigan to Texas to the PA state legislature. The American people have made it clear: it’s time for change.
This seat belongs to everyone who calls PA-12 home, and I am deeply humbled and grateful you have reaffirmed your trust in me. I will continue fighting for working families and every single person, whether you voted for me or not.
The work starts again today – for affordable housing, good-paying jobs, stronger union protections, Medicare for All, fully funded public schools, and the opportunity to build a dignified life. I will continue challenging corporate greed and corruption, holding bad actors accountable, and bringing the voices from Western Pennsylvania all the way to the halls of Congress.
Happy Election Day, Pennsylvania!
Today is an opportunity to send fascism a message that we will not stand idly by and we do not consent to the control Republicans want to have over our lives.
Polls are open until 8pm. Let’s do our civic duty and vote!
Haley Stevens has no problem using the Black community when it’s convenient for her, but as soon as it wasn’t, she defected to an anti-Black, anti-Muslim MAGA Republican.
We are spiraling towards authoritarianism and she’d rather serve us up to a fascist regime than vote for the Democratic nominee.
Don't fall for fearmongering or division. Vote Abdul. Defeat fascism.
From Brazil to India to France and Serbia, working people are reclaiming their power and refusing to consent to fascism.
Corrupt, anti-worker policies aren’t welcome abroad and they aren’t welcome here. We must join the global movement of workers in rejecting authoritarianism not just on Election Day this Tuesday but beyond. Our democracy depends on it.
Western PA is ready for Election Day! I was proud to join the Allegheny-Fayette County Labor Council for its canvass launch as we head into GOTV weekend and the final stretch before the midterms.
With our union sisters and brothers, elected officials, and supporters knocking doors and talking with voters, we’re continuing to build the momentum it takes to win.
Let’s finish strong and get this done!
Great to be with South Hills communities this past weekend to catch up and strategize best ways to stay engaged ahead of the midterms.
PA’s voter registration deadline is Oct. 19. Make a plan to vote and remind a friend—we can’t do this alone.
See you at the polls!
Honored to be recognized as the Outstanding Government Honoree by the Greater Westmoreland County Labor Council.
No better way to talk about the future of organizing than to recognize our labor movement here in Western PA—like the 12K organized at Pitt with USW.
Proud to stand with you all.

Black political power means a system that mimics the things that have worked for us before colonization, not one that mimics white supremacy.
In an effort to divide us, Black folks are told our politics aren't rooted in liberatory movements and that historically we haven't been connected to socialism or progressivism.
They’re wrong.
Yesterday at @cbcfinc, I hosted a panel on the Black radical tradition to recenter the fact that so many movements thoughout history have been to the left of the establishment. The coordinated attacks we’re seeing on our democracy, on Black politics, on economic justice are a reminder that the pathway forward is written in our past. Thank you to the incoming members who served as our panelists, to our moderator, and to everyone who joined us for a powerful discussion.

We’re live at CBC ALC 2026. Tune in! xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1dJrPrown…
Looking forward to seeing you all today at 3pm!
Excited to welcome incoming members at #ALC55 this Wednesday!
We'll discuss what the Black radical tradition teaches us about building power—from racial & economic justice, to working-class coalitions, to building a movement that win, govern, & deliver real change.

Congratulations @JustinJPearson on your primary victory!
61 years after the Voting Rights Act became law, our fight for democracy continues. Republicans' desperate, racist gerrymandering and attacks on voting rights remind us that the work goes to November and beyond. Our movement is ready to see it through.
This is what it looks like to put the many over the money.
Congratulations @AbdulElSayed and @DonavanMI13 on your historic primary wins!
Our fight continues. Onward to November.
People are looking for people-centered politics and the ability to choose their own representative without the influence of millions and millions of outside dollars.
Candidates like @AbdulElSayed and @DonavanMI13 can deliver that.
Black leftists def have "a look"
We look like W.E.B Dubois. A. Phillip Randolph. James Baldwin. Ella Baker. MLK. Davis and Hampton. SNCC and BPP.
Slavery abolition, the Civil Rights, Black Power, and labor movements.
In that light, the alternative just looks silly.
Imagine insisting the nice lady whose whole existence is educating, loving and fiercely advocating for children is evil just because she doesn't think some of them should be bombed or starved.
Are yall ok?
Detroit & everyone deserves leadership that meets this moment.
@DonavanMI13 knows fighting for the people means taking on AIPAC, Crypto & every billionaire standing in the way of Medicare for All, clean air & water, and lowering costs.
From PA to MI, let's show them how we win.
I am honored to receive the endorsement of my sister in service, Representative Summer Lee.
Our shared commitment to standing up for our communities unites us deeply, and I am thrilled to have a fighter like Summer join our people-powered coalition.
Thank you, @SummerForPA !
