I’m Cindy Kirk, a trusted nurse, an Air Force mom, and a lifetime volunteer. This community is my home. I was born here, and together with my husband Bill, raised our two children, who thrived in our fantastic public schools. I started as a candy striper at age 12 and grew up to become a nurse, earning my BS and Master's Degree in nursing from the University of Pittsburgh. As a working mom, I still found time to serve our local boy scouts and girl scouts, served as PTA president twice over, and then serving on the Northland Library Foundation Board. I represented us on Allegheny County Council for 6 years as a fierce advocate for our communities. On Council, we repaired our aging roads and bridges, increased lead testing for children, supported the Head Start program for kids, got companies to invest over a billion dollars in clean air, and renovated our parks. We did all of this by being bipartisan and without ever raising property taxes. I treat my neighbors the same way I treat my patients; I listen, I understand their needs, and work together to get them the care they need.
  • Roberto Clemente said, "Anytime you have an opportunity to make a difference in this world and you don't, then you are wasting your time on this earth." I feel like now more than ever we need to take a commonsense approach to governing. As a nurse and a mom, I just feel like I must do something. We have rampant inflation and rising interest rates. Folks can’t afford groceries, gas for their cars, or energy to warm their homes, and it feels like there is no end in sight, but it doesn't have to be this way...That is why I am running.
  • We need grounded reasonable people who focus on working families and their kitchen-table issues. As fuel prices increase, I support a gasoline tax holiday, which would instantly lower the price by .over 58 cents per gallon and return some of the state surplus to our working families when they need it most. As mental health issues crush our kids, we must increase the supply of mental health professionals and the accessibility of services for patients, and we can get started right away with some commonsense licensure reforms, retention incentives, and broader use of technology.
  • I have knocked on thousands of doors and the one thing that stands out, people are worried. Politics has failed us, and the only way to fix that is to get involved and vote for candidates that care more about their neighbors than politics and special interests. I will fight for us, as I always have. The problems we face are huge, from inflation and a stifling economy to education and healthcare, solving them is not a part-time endeavor. It will require a full-time focus and the kind of hard work that I have done my whole life.
Politics has become so divisive, but it doesn’t have to be. On County Council, I worked with fellow council members regardless of party, and together we solved real problems. We did it with mutual respect and civility. We need a representative who knows how to listen and follow through to tackle the issues we face. As a career nurse, this just comes naturally to me. With compassion and understanding for our families and seniors, I will focus on health care access and mental health, improving our children’s education, and skyrocketing prices Together, we can create better lives and communities for everyone. It can be done, and as a life-long resident, a mom, a nurse, and experienced county council representative, I am ready to serve.
