Meet Sara!

Representative Sara Innamorato served as the Vice-Chair of the Allegheny County Delegation, as a member of the House Finance, Labor and Industry, Transportation, and Urban Affairs committees, and is on the boards of the Urban Redevelopment Authority and Allegheny County Housing Authority. In addition, she is a founding member of the Welcoming PA Caucus and the City-wide Task Force on Employee Ownership.


Sara graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Business. After weathering the 2008 economic crash, she secured a spot in a highly competitive leadership program at one of the largest global tech companies. Then, feeling the need to commit her skill set to serving others, she left the private sector to become a nonprofit professional, focusing on issues of vacant land reclamation, food justice, and digital equity. In 2018, she won an underdog race for State Representative by building a multi-racial, multi-generational, diverse coalition of people who care deeply about the success of this region. For Sara, this work is personal; as a teenager, she experienced the impact of the opioid epidemic and the housing instability it caused for her family. She carried these experiences to Harrisburg and introduced legislation to build a better future.

As State Representative, she introduced dozens of bills, leading the fight to increase the supply of affordable housing, raise the minimum wage, secure environmental protections, address the opioid epidemic, establish the first Office of New Pennsylvanians, create a Working Families Tax Credit, and protect reproductive healthcare. The 2022 session culminated with the passage of Sara’s landmark Whole Home Repairs legislation which will provide $125M in critical funding to keep seniors and those facing housing insecurity in their homes while investing in climate resilience and local workforce development.

Sara is running for County Executive because while we have a lot to be proud of in Allegheny County, we face economic and social challenges requiring leadership, creativity, and risk-taking. Sara is the only candidate to bridge the gap between generations and bring together the interests necessary to create good jobs, housing for all, safe communities, a clean and healthy environment, high-quality public services, and ensure that all residents have a seat at the table. Together, Sara knows we can build a County for all of us.

Sara is a lifelong Allegheny County resident and graduate of North Hills High School. She never left and currently resides in Lawrenceville.
