Tonya Payne of Pittsburgh
The Third DFA-List: Tonya Payne
When Tonya Payne's City Council member stopped listening to her and her fellow citizens, she did the only thing she could: she ran against him—and won by nearly 10 points.
Tonya has run a truly grassroots campaign in her bid for City Council. After making the decision to run, this Pittsburgh Meetup-endorsed candidate put her shoe leather to good use and began knocking on hundreds of doors in an effort to tell people face to face what she would do for them if elected to City Council.
Tonya went talked to citizens about the tough issues Pittsburgh is facing and presented real solutions for taking on the economy, racial unity and making Pittsburgh safe for all its citizens. After knocking on doors, calling people, shaking hands and going through several pairs of shoes, Tonya is now the Democratic nominee for Pittsburgh City Council, District six.
