  • 2020 PA Primary Developments & Notes Republican PA GOP House
    2020 PA Primary Developments & Notes Republican PA GOP House and Senate Goals in November General Election: Although there are 17 Democratic-held seats in districts that Trump won, the release specifically pinpointed House Districts 33, 55, 72, and 123 as “just a few targets for Republicans” in the upcoming election. House Minority Leader Frank Dermody (D-Allegheny) represents the least Trump friendly district of those four targets, with the president carrying the 33rd state House District by 5 points over Sec. Hillary Clinton in 2016, according to DailyKos. Dermody’s closest reelection bid since the last two presidential elections was in 2014 when he fended off Republican Sean Watson by 6 points, according to Ballotpedia. Dermody is slated to face Carrie DelRosso, an Oakmont Borough Councilmember and businesswoman, for the seat in the fall. State Rep. Frank Burns (D-Cambria) represents the most Trump friendly district of the four targets with Trump winning the 72nd state House District by 43 points over Clinton in 2016. Burns’ closest reelection bid since the past two presidential elections was in 2018 when he edged out Republican Gerald Carnicella by 5 points, according to Ballotpedia. Burns will face Republican Howard Terndrup for his reelection bid in November. State Rep. Joe Petrarca’s (D-Westmoreland) 55th state House District is also very favorable to Trump with the president carrying his district by 33 points in 2016, according to DailyKos. Petrarca ran unopposed in 2018 and his closest reelection bid since the past two presidential elections was in 2012 when he defeated Republican John Hauser, although his 2016 victory over Republican Michael Geiselhart was a 13 point win, according to Ballotpedia.

  • April 21, 2020 Secretary Teresa Miller Pennsylvania Department Of
    April 21, 2020 Secretary Teresa Miller Pennsylvania Department of Human Services 625 Forster Street Harrisburg, PA 17120 Dear Secretary Miller, Re: Safe Food Purchasing Options for SNAP Recipients As legislators, we understand the economic precariousness of our constituents since the onset of the COVID-19 outbreaks and that it has increased the need for people to access the SNAP benefits program to ensure food security. We understand the need for SNAP recipients to have safe access to groceries which would include access to online grocery shopping and delivery services. More than one-third of SNAP households include a family member who is an older adult or someone with a disability and many of these families rely on ride-sharing or public transportation options to go grocery shopping. Leaving their homes to make in-person payments or even using neighborhood volunteer-based buddy systems further increases the risk of contracting COVID-19 for an already at-risk population. We support DHS in submitting a waiver that allows SNAP benefit users to complete online grocery orders (and allow for home delivery service) so that they may adhere to the COVID-19 response guidelines outlined by the state government. This waiver will be a good start to supporting our most vulnerable population. Additionally, we encourage you to look ahead to broadening the options and abilities for using and accepting SNAP benefits. From across the Commonwealth, we hear concerns about the safety and security of local food growers and producers who keep our food supply safe and steady and the financial security of these industries that are considered essential.

  • August 13, 2020 Austin Davis Jordan A. Harris Joanna E. Mcclinton State Representative Democratic Whip Democratic Chair 35Th
    August 13, 2020 Honorable Tom Wolf, Governor Office of the Governor 508 Main Capitol Building Harrisburg, PA 17120 Dear Governor Wolf: I write to you today with a sense of urgency. Clean water is the first line of defense against the spread of COVID-19. Currently, municipal water and wastewater systems in the Commonwealth are not under the jurisdiction of the Public Utility Commission and are not prohibited from terminating service during the Covid-19 pandemic. To ensure the health and safety of all Pennsylvanians, I urge you to issue a moratorium on terminating water and wastewater service provided by municipal systems. On March 6, 2020, you issued a Proclamation of Disaster Emergency for the Commonwealth that identified the Covid-19 pandemic as a disaster emergency. Soon after, the Public Utility Commission issued an Emergency Order establishing a prohibition on the termination of electric, gas, water, wastewater, telecommunications and steam heat utility service by investor-owned utilities. However, this moratorium does not apply to over 2,000 municipal water and wastewater systems in the Commonwealth, which reach all corners of the state. This means customers in over 2,000 communities are not afforded the same protections as customers of private water and wastewater companies. Financial hardships and other economic disruptions due to Covid-19 persist in the Pennsylvania and may continue for months to come. Access to water and wastewater services is a public health necessity, especially during this public health crisis. To that end, we believe it is of the highest priority to ensure no one is without water and wastewater service during this pandemic.
