Olivia "Liv" Bennett

Liv is a community activist and has served on Allegheny County Council, District 13, since January of 2020. Liv is a mother of four children and through this experience has seen first hand the challenges in the County for Black and other minority populations. For this reason, the legislation that Liv has worked on and passed has targeted marginalized communities.

During Liv's time on Council she has passed numerous legislation from banning conversion therapy, hair discrimination and fracking in the park. She has also passed Paid Sick Leave, Juneteenth as a Countywide holiday before it was done by the City of Pittsburgh or federally and the Independent Police Review Board. While Liv has gotten a lot done, she recognizes that there is still much work to still do. She looks forward to being able to serve for a second term on the County Council to continue her work for the least of these.
