A Democratic fundraiser announced his candidacy this morning for the US House.
Sean Meloy says he's running for Connor Lamb's 17th District seat.
The 17th District covers all of Beaver County, suburbs in northern and western Allegheny County and southwest Butler County.
If elected, the 34-year-old from from Morningside would be the state's first openly gay congressman.
Meloy tells the Post-Gazette he supports local schools, living wages and affordable health care.
Meloy joins one other candidate in the Democratic primary field: Chris Deluzio, the policy director of the University of Pittsburgh's Institute for Cyber Law, Policy and Security.
