The Trump Administration wants to axe the Head Start childcare program, which supports 250+ centers in Western PA. Their attack would hurt those thousands of kids and families and jack up childcare costs for hardworking parents.
This is outrageous, and I'm gonna fight it.

Today is Workers' Memorial Day, a solemn time to honor workers who've been killed or hurt on the job. Today we remember the dead, and commit to fight for the living. ✊
Reminder that my Telephone Town Hall all about protecting Social Security and Healthcare is happening Tuesday night. Sign up here to join: deluzio.house.gov/live ☎️
We are fighting against this Administration when it tries to find new and cruel ways to make it harder for seniors to get their earned benefits. I won't stop demanding answers and standing up for Social Security. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
It's simple: they're looking out for their corporate buddies. I joined 178 of my colleagues in a letter demanding they keep and improve the program. (2/2)
Costs are still way too high. Add on top of that: Americans spend over $100 billion every year to prepare and file their taxes. So why is this Administration planning to kill the free, easy-to-use, and popular Direct File program? (1/2)
The minimum wage of $7.25 is way too low, especially as prices keep rising. We need a govt that helps build an economy that rewards work, not just wealth. Raising the min wage is part of that, so I'm proud to co-sponsor the #RaiseTheWage Act to give roughly 22 million Americans a long-overdue raise.
...and sent out a save the date for my upcoming in-person Town Hall on May 17th.
I always want to hear from the people I'm honored to represent and serve.
If you don’t, maybe the job isn’t for you.

In the last week or so, I took questions at a chamber of commerce event in Beaver County, held an open Q&A at a senior living facility in Millvale, announced my upcoming Tele-Town Hall on Social Security & Healthcare on April 29... (1/2)
Happy "Take Your Kids to Work Day!" I always have fun bringing my kids along with me to events here at home in Western PA. But this memory of having my family down in Washington earlier this year for my swearing-in is a special one. (Wrangling them on the House Floor, though…it was chaos!)
And please also save the date for my next in-person town hall on Saturday, May 17th—time and location to be announced. (2/2)
I've been getting a ton of questions about the efforts down in Washington to attack our Social Security and healthcare—and I've been fighting back.
Let's talk about it at my upcoming telephone town hall on April 29. Sign up here to join the conversation: deluzio.house.gov/live. (1/2)
These cuts are bad for kids and bad for farmers.
Thanks to Quaker Valley School District for hosting me yesterday to learn how these federal cuts will make it harder to get our kids healthy meals from local farmers.
I’ve got this Truman quote in my office as a reminder that leadership is about taking responsibility. Secretary Hegseth has proven he’s incapable of this, and now he’s throwing staff under the bus. He should’ve been fired weeks ago & he sure as hell needs to go now. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
Happy Earth Day 🌎 All of us have a right to clean air and water. It's up to us to make sure our kids and grandkids have a clean and healthy planet to call home for generations to come.
People hate corruption like this for good reason—nobody should be lining their own pockets (or making their own meme coins) off public office. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t “make America healthy again.”
Some good news on federal grants and funding for Reserve Township! I'll never stop fighting to bring home dollars to invest in making life better for us in Western PA.
I've gotten a lot of calls and emails from constituents worried about how DOGE is plundering our government—and I am too. Recently, we've learned DOGE has some of Western PA's most beloved cultural institutions in its sights. Ridiculous! I'm fighting back.
