John,

We both know I don’t look like a typical politician. Maybe that’s why my
tattoos are *literally* the first thing people Google about me.

Well enough Googling. Today I’ll tell you about my tattoos
myself, John.

On my left arm I have the zip code 15104. That’s Braddock, Pennsylvania,
my home and the community I was honored to serve as mayor for 15 years.
Gisele and I are raising our kids here in Braddock, right across the
street from Andrew Carnegie’s first steel mill.

On my right arm I have nine different dates. These are the dates when
people were killed through violence in Braddock while I served as mayor,
starting in 2005. Seven out of nine were gun deaths. I actually have to
get one more date added because in June of 2018, there was another tragic
loss of life.

My first tattoo came after January 16, 2006. It was my second week on the
job as mayor after winning my election by a single vote. I received a call
and was summoned to a police crime scene where a pizza delivery man had
been robbed and killed by gun violence.

Every time Braddock lost someone was the worst feeling in the
world, John. In a close-knit
community like Braddock, it’s very likely that you know the victim and
their family. It’s an incredibly wrenching and personal experience as a
mayor — but nothing compared to what the families have to go through.

In my 15 years as mayor, I worked with the community to take on gun
violence and other important issues that Braddock faced every day. I
helped initiate youth and art programs for the students of our community
and we worked together to create a community center.

We also worked to develop buildings that had been written off,
kick-started our economy, and reduced deadly violence. My proudest moment
as Mayor of Braddock is when our community went 5 ½ years without the loss
of life due to gun violence.

John, I’m going to the U.S.
Senate believing that every community is worth fighting for. Just like
Braddock.

It is my promise to you that I'll fight for you + your community as if it
were my very own.

That promise is written on my arms. Literally.

h*ll for working people, chip in a few bucks or whatever you can today.
