The first four paragraphs of the article state:

Beto O’Rourke will bring his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination to Western Pennsylvania this week, with stops scheduled for Pittsburgh and Erie.

O’Rourke, a former U.S. congressman from Texas, will hold a town hall event Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 11:30 a.m. at Schenley Plaza in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood before heading up to Erie on Thursday, according to a statement from his campaign.

The trip is part of town hall events scheduled for Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania this week, during which O’Rourke will “urge decisive action on gun violence,” according to the statement.

O’Rourke has been outspoken on gun control. He suspended his campaign in August following the mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso — his hometown, and a city he represented in Congress for six years — that left 22 people dead and 24 injured.
