Forgie Is about Working Folk, not fame.
He’s spent his life on the frontlines of Western Pennsylvania’s challenges — in the classroom, in borough hall, and on call as a first responder. He’s running for Congress because PA-12 deserves functional government, fact-based leadership, and a future that works for working families, not just for those with the loudest microphone.
Adam's guiding values are:
Unity
She fought for hundreds of clients within the Court of Common Pleas—standing up for:
- Families and individuals navigating the justice system
- Discussion rather than lectures,
- Wisdom before radicalism, and
- Individuals seeking a second chance through rehabilitation
All while using community-driven solutions to address systemic challenges like addiction and trauma.
Fairness
Sarra’s leadership is grounded in compassion, fairness, and the belief that the courtroom should be a place where lives are rebuilt—not torn apart. She is committed to:
- Breaking the Cycle of Poverty: Advocating for career training and union partnerships to create lasting opportunities.
- Trauma-Informed Justice: Ensuring all courts prioritize mental health and substance abuse recovery.
- Diversionary Programs: Expanding alternatives that allow offenders to rebuild their lives.
- Protecting Families: Promoting fair, equitable resolutions in custody cases.
