Pittsburgh media needs to stop calling Bhavini Patel a “newcomer” to politics.
She’s run race after race after race (County Council 2019, Edgewood Borough Council 2021, HD 12 2022, PA-34 2022).
She’s hardly new. It’s just that voters rarely choose her.

I am a much better comms staffer because I started in field. Everyone should start by working in field. Everyone should knock doors every cycle. It’s really not hard and getting out in the community always helps you improve messaging ‼️
I’ve only ever done comms work in my political career but 100% believe organizing is the best comms tool in the political toolbox and good comms/digital folks understand that good comms is rooted in organizing.
