Pippy will take on the communities of Aleppo, Edgeworth, Haysville, Osborne, Sewickley, Sewickley Hills arid Sewickley Heights. These areas will be part of the 44th District, joining Moon Township, Ben Avon Heights, Ohio Ibwnship and Kilbuck.
Laughlin will Continue to represent the areas of. Leet, Leetsdale, Bell Acres and Ambridge. These communities will join Bellevue, a small portion of Ross Township and Franklin Park, and some of Beaver County to form the 16th Legislative District.
Laughlin reported a strong relationship between herself, her staff and the people of Sewickley, regarding her ability to solve constituent concerns as one of her proudest accomplishments.
“I always did my best to meet even the smallest concerns of Sewickley and its residents,” she said.

She is also proud of her role in bringing the overpass to Leetsdale and her work with PennDOT in alleviating traffic -------- Continvad on Pago 3
