Сара Дж. Иннаморато - американский политик, которая была избрана в Палату представителей Пенсильвании в 2018 году и является представителем 21-го округа , который включает части Питтсбурга и его окрестности.

Ранняя жизнь и образование [ править ]

Иннаморато вырос в городке Росс и учился в школьном округе Норт-Хиллз. [1] Она с отличием окончила Питтсбургский университет со степенью бакалавра в области бизнеса. [1]

Ранняя карьера [ править ]

Она основала Innamo Co., независимую маркетинговую фирму, ориентированную на «социальное благо». [1] Иннаморато является соучредителем She Runs SWPA, внепартийной организации, деятельность которой направлена ​​на поощрение женщин баллотироваться на посты. [1]

Политическая карьера [ править ]

Выборы [ править ]

2018 г.

Член Демократической партии социалистов Америки (DSA), она выиграла номинацию от Демократической партии на место, победив действующего Дома Коста на первичных выборах 2018 года, набрав более 64% голосов. [2]

Иннаморато не встретил сопротивления в бюллетенях для всеобщих выборов. Коста развернул кампанию по внесению прав в конце избирательного цикла. Коста обнародовала предложение после интервью с подкастом, в котором процитировали Иннаморато, сказав: «Мой район, который, как я знаю, похож на белый рабочий класс, бедняков, которые являются расистами, потому что им намного легче посмотреть на их сторону и сказать «Я собираюсь обвинить этого человека». [3] Глава кампании Costa Гэри Бритчер утверждал, что Иннаморато назвал этот район «расистским». [3]Другое интервью процитировало Иннаморато, заявившего, что комментарий был вырван из контекста, а изображение кампании Costa «не то, что я чувствую». С самого начала этой кампании я рассказывал о своем опыте взросления в этом районе и о доброте соседей (sic), которые помогли мне преодолеть нестабильность взросления ». Она сказала, что ее точка зрения заключалась в том, что избиратели из белого рабочего класса «эксплуатируются со всех сторон» экономической и политической элитой, которые играют на расовой напряженности, чтобы отвлечь их от вопросов экономической несправедливости. «Расизм существует повсюду», - сказала она. «Моя работа - представлять всех и не уклоняться от жестких разговоров» » [4].

Иннаморато получил 85% голосов на всеобщих выборах. [5]

After the election, allegations surfaced that two violations of Pennsylvania campaign finance law were committed by the PAC “Americans Against Socialism,” the principle funding mechanism for the marketing firm employed by the Costa write-in campaign.[6]

2020

Innamorato was initially challenged by Stephen Zappala III for the Democratic Party nomination. Zappala is the son of the Allegheny County District Attorney.[7] Zappala quietly withdrew his challenge the following month.[8] Innamorato was unopposed on the ballot for the Democratic Party nomination.

Innamorato will be facing Republican challenger John Waugh in the general election.
