    Off the top of my head I can’t remember everything. However, he worked with several PACs to get a budget increase to the local schools, he and several members of the town’s staff retained money from several major corporations, like PNC, to fund a fairly diverse set of extra-curricular activities and clubs for the local school as well as cover the costs to the students for those activities. Braddock had pretty much no where for people under 21 to do anything so he worked with a number of groups to get a pretty decked out community center built that, beyond a place to hang out and play, offered martial arts, classes in visual arts, music lessons, after school tutoring, and, IIRC, Wiz Khalifa put in money to add a studio with classes on sound engineering, production, etc. He and his wife opened a free grocery store available to those without food. They laid the ground for a government run, non profit, grocery store to address the food desert situation as well as provide more affordable food. He worked with a number of local community leaders, from churches to business owners, to reach out to kids getting into trouble with police, give them part time jobs, teach trade work, etc.

    He fought very hard to get a lot of infrastructure improvements as well. Roads, public buildings and facilities, etc. He also helped get funding for a free to user day care.
