Miss Pittsburgh Launching Super PAC ‘Focused’ on Crime, Takes Aim at Pennsylvania Progressive

Tech CEO and Miss Pittsburgh Madison Campbell is launching a Super PAC that she says is "focused on victims of crime" and is targeting Democratic Pennsylvania Rep. Summer Lee, a member of the progressive "Squad."

Campbell spoke about her effort, the Survivor PAC, with Fox News Digital for a piece that was published on Monday, taking aim at Lee and other Democrats over what she calls a rise in crime in the Pittsburgh region.

The PAC's website describes itself as "committed to supporting candidates and policies that fight to protect citizens from victims of crime and work to support survivors."

Campbell, who is the CEO of the tech startup Leda Health, which provides resources to sexual assault survivors, explained to Fox that the PAC's polling shows that people of Allegheny County, which is partly represented by Lee, believe "crime has gotten significantly worse" in the last five years.

"We polled what constituents think about antisemitism and the rise of hate speech happening in the Jewish population, and over 80% of Allegheny County extremely is worried about what happened after Oct. 7 and protecting their Jewish neighbors," Campbell said. "And they have a very unfavorable appetite for Summer Lee returning."

Campbell argued that Lee "has not really spoken up to a lot of the Jewish constituents" and hasn't advocated for Israel.

"And I can tell you, anecdotally, from talking to a lot of my friends who are Jewish and living [in Pittsburgh,] they don't feel represented by Summer Lee," Campbell said.

She said her PAC would "endorse politicians that are going to think out of the box when it comes to crime, and that's not just sexual assault. That's all types of crime" — Lee's campaign had not responded to Fox's request for comment.
