U.S. Representative Summer Lee, who represents Pennsylvania’s 12th district in Congress, addressed several issues on her social media account on January 14, 2026, including calls for impeachment proceedings, tributes to civil rights figures, and labor victories.
In a post published at 19:08 UTC, Lee stated: “People are being hunted. Families torn apart. A woman was just shot in the face. And DHS seem to think it’s acceptable.
I joined @RepRobinKelly and my colleagues to formally introduce articles of impeachment. It’s past time to fire Kristi Noem.” This message highlighted her support for formal articles of impeachment and expressed concern over recent violence and the response by the Department of Homeland Security.
Later that day at 22:21 UTC, Lee honored Claudette Colvin’s legacy in the civil rights movement by writing: “Claudette Colvin was just 15 when she refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Alabama, paving the way for Rosa Parks and countless others during the civil rights movement.
We must honor her legacy with the continued fight for equity and justice. May she rest in power.”
At 22:59 UTC on the same day, Lee commented on recent developments affecting workers laid off during the Trump administration: “This is a huge win for working people. When the Trump admin laid off hundreds, workers spoke up, communities fought back, and we stood with them to demand better.
Now those workers can finally return to the jobs they were hired to do and keep the American people safe.”
Summer Lee has represented Pennsylvania’s 12th district since 2023 after succeeding Mike Doyle. She previously served in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 2019 to 2022. Born in Pittsburgh in 1987 and currently residing in Swissvale, Lee holds degrees from Pennsylvania State University (BA) and Howard University (JD).
