→ Our district representative in Harrisburg, responsible for advocating for our communities and ensuring state programs like LIHEAP continue during shutdowns.

Rep. Joanna McClinton — Speaker, PA House of Representatives

→ Holds the authority to prioritize emergency protections in the state legislative agenda.

Sen. Jay Costa — PA Senate Minority Leader

→ Represents local communities in Allegheny County and can support funding safeguards for vulnerable families.

Sen. Bob Casey — U.S. Senate, Pennsylvania

→ Oversees federal funding that affects SNAP accessibility and continuation during shutdowns.
