Mandy Steele was elected to the State House in 2022 to represent the 33rd Legislative District in Allegheny County.
A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and mom of four, Mandy has founded and operated two nonprofit organizations. In 2019, she became the first woman and Democrat elected to the Fox Chapel Borough Council. Before being elected, Mandy had spent the last few years leading bipartisan actions focusing on environmental and safety issues across 20 southwestern communities in Pennsylvania. She also led grassroots efforts to build green infrastructure systems to control stormwater, making communities safer from flooding and landslides.
As state representative, her priorities include restoring the valley to the vibrant, economic hub it once was. She cares about making her community as clean as possible by focusing on eliminating air and water pollution and adopting better forms of clean energy, both of which are initiatives that will create jobs.
Infrastructure
In Mandy’s eyes, ideological Republican budget cuts to Port Authority funding have hampered the economic development of our communities, particularly up the valley. Transit investment is critical to the economic growth and sustainability of our communities and small businesses. Route 28 is dangerous and congested; we need to be exploring light rail systems. In Harrisburg, she’ll prioritize transit as an investment in our community. Steele will advocate for federal funding to help subsidize the PA transportation system and explore every opportunity to connect our communities and make commutes more accessible.
Economy and Clean Energy
Mandy has a long history of championing the environment while prioritizing thriving communities and working families. She has a years-long track record of working with people on both sides to achieve these worthy goals. She will work with all stakeholders to move forward together on this energy path.
Mandy will be laser-focused on steering clean energy and infrastructure investments to our communities, preserving our generations-long history as a vital energy hub in the country. She will fight to create good, family-sustaining, union jobs and grow our economy, lifting up our communities in the process.
Crime Prevention & Public Schools
When the safety of our children, parents, and neighbors is a top priority, thriving communities are possible. Mandy will support local law enforcement and equip them with all the necessary tools to protect our families and community. She will also work to end the school-to-prison pipeline by fighting to decrease suspensions, increase the number of mental health counselors available in our schools and communities, and implement restorative justice practices in our schools. As your state representative, Mandy will work to fund programs that divert people from prisons into community settings while supporting and funding our police departments.
A mother of four, Steele understands the importance of supporting public education. She will fight for funding for our districts, work to expand job training programs that meet the needs of our new economy, and champion affordable higher education options for our children.
