Pittsburgh Review

Summer Lee, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Pennsylvania’s 12th district, has expressed her concerns through a series of tweets regarding recent political developments and their potential impact on her constituents. Lee succeeded Mike Doyle in 2023 and has been an active voice in Congress since then.

On March 20, 2025, Summer Lee addressed the issue of former President Trump's actions regarding the Department of Education. She stated, "Trump’s action to illegally dismantle the Department of Education is dangerous and would abandon our children and our communities." This tweet indicates her disapproval of policies she perceives as harmful to educational infrastructure.

The following day, March 21, 2025, Lee reflected on a town hall meeting in Pennsylvania's 12th district. She remarked, "Last night’s town hall was a reminder: our communities are paying attention. Folks in #PA12 are sick of Trump & Musk, fed up with being taken advantage of, and ready to fight back." Lee thanked participants and acknowledged the hosting by Hill CDC.

On March 22, 2025, Lee shared her efforts with local leaders concerning housing issues in Pittsburgh. She tweeted about urging HUD to maintain its Pittsburgh Field Office open: "I led my Democratic PA delegation and local leaders to urge HUD to keep the Pittsburgh Field Office open." Lee emphasized the negative consequences that might ensue if reports of closure were true.
