Op-ed by Senator Lisa Boscola
One of my primary goals as an elected official has been to improve the lives of middle- and working-class families in Pennsylvania. As a proponent of job creation and economic development, I have worked with the private sector to cut red tape and ensure that government incentives make Pennsylvania businesses competitive. Working across the aisle to implement common sense reforms, help eliminate waste and create a more efficient government is a hallmark of my time in Harrisburg.

PJM is America’s largest transmission organization that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity across 13 states, of which Pennsylvania is one. At its most recent wholesale capacity auction the cost of electricity went up 700%. Prices jumped from $29 to $270 per megawatt-day across the region. The size of the increase sent shockwaves across the market and should concern us all because the bottom line is we will all pay more.

With just days until Election Day, all eyes are on swing states like Pennsylvania.
Here, every vote is an opportunity to make a difference and fight for your values, both at the presidential level and in hotly contested state legislative races. In 2022, the closest state House race was decided by only 63 votes. Today, the state House is narrowly controlled by Democrats, 102-101, while the Senate is controlled by Republicans, 28-22.

Op-Ed By Senator John Kane
Great news has come our way! Cheyney University, the first HBCU on our Country, our historic and beloved state school, has had its accreditation reaffirmed, lifting it off probation. This isn’t just a win for the university; it’s a victory for our entire district and community. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education, Cheyney’s accrediting body, made this announcement earlier this week, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Op-Ed By Senator Carolyn Comitta
I ran for office because of climate change. Leaving a cleaner, safer world for my children and grandchildren has always been a driving force behind my passion for public service. When I look into their eyes, I want to tell them I’m doing everything I can to save our planet – to protect our environment, cut pollution, and invest in a clean energy economy.
