Team Summer Lee Serves Over 50 Community Members at Grand Opening of Jeannette Satellite Office in Westmoreland County, After Serving 40+ At Yesterday’s Clairton Satellite Office With 3 other Locations Soon to be Announced

(Pittsburgh, PA) – Today, US Congresswoman Summer Lee (PA-12) proudly opened the second of five new satellite offices in Jeannette, Pennsylvania in Westmoreland County with the first one opening yesterday in Clairton and three more locations across PA-12 set to be announced in the coming days. These offices demonstrate Congresswoman Lee’s commitment to providing accessible, convenient constituent services and creating stronger connections with the constituents of Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties.

Lee said, “Today we opened our new satellite office in Jeannette, Westmoreland County, and it was a huge success! On our first day, my team helped over 50 constituents with different problems like mental health, finding ways to lower Medicare prescription drug costs, IRS issues, and helping cut down energy bills. Our goal is to make sure everyone gets the help they need, right where they live. We’re excited to open more offices like this one in the coming days and really looking forward to making sure we’re doing everything we can for our communities. The consensus we heard today was that folks in Jeannette have felt left behind for far too long, and we are here to change that!”
