Passionate about social justice initiatives and addressing inequality, Lindsay Powell has been a dedicated advocate and community servant for all of her life.
Powell earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from Wheaton College and a Master of Science degree in Public Policy Management from Carnegie Mellon University Heinz College, where she was recognized for her commitment to racial and social justice.
She also acted as a City of Pittsburgh assistant chief of staff for almost half a decade and directed legislation and policy for city departments. Powell oversaw the creation of the first citywide digital equity initiative, the expansion of the summer free meal program during the pandemic, and the implementation of Avenues of Hope, a catalyst for small businesses to open on city main streets.
She was elected to the House in 2023 to represent the 21st Legislative District in Allegheny County.
Addressing the Housing Crisis
Powell believes that everyone deserves safe and dignified housing, and she is committed to making that a reality. She currently sits on the Housing and Community Development Committee in the PA House and will continue to fight to build new housing and rehabilitate old housing.
Supporting Working Families
Powell wants to strengthen our local communities by fighting for working families and assisting small businesses. She understands the need to address rising childcare costs, healthcare reform, and student debt. She wants to raise the minimum wage and remove barriers to starting and growing a business.
Community Assets
Lindsay knows our community deserves beautiful and accessible spaces for public enjoyment. She wants more active recreation centers, expanded resources for libraries, walkable green spaces, and investments in critical infrastructure.
