The 2025 Political Q&A Series: Amanda Neatrour for Pittsburgh City Council, District Two — Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents

Representation in government is extremely important. We haven’t had a Black woman on City Council since 2009, and there have never been more than two Black people on council at any given time. I also do not recall the last time we had a truly active disability rights advocate who was also disabled on City Council, and I would also bring that representation and perspective.

Meet the Candidate

Welcome to the 2025 election season series ‘Political Q&A’ — interviews with candidates throughout Pennsylvania. Since 2013, we’ve published nearly 150 of these interviews. We use an email Q&A format to allow the candidates to speak directly to you, the readers.

Candidates can be anywhere in Pennsylvania running for any level of office. Please note that these are not necessarily endorsements, more of an opportunity for candidates to connect with the LGBTQ community, progressives neighbors, and others with an interest in Pennsylvania. If your candidate would like to participate, contact us pghlesbian at gmail dot com. We welcome candidates at all levels of government across the entire Commonwealth. We publish in the order that they are returned and will accept Q&A’s until Election Day.
