This years off-year election has huge implications for our community and the 2024 national election. Its essential to vote now!

Three key races will determine access in future elections, reproductive rights, educational integrity and the overall quality of our lives.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court determines the interpretation of state laws. Justices have the last word on many legal questions from election policy to abortion. The Democratic candidate for Supreme Court Justice, Dan McCaffery, is endorsed by Planned Parenthood and labor unions and stands up for values shared by Democrats. In contrast, the Republican candidate is endorsed by organizations opposing abortion access, and said that no-excuse mail ballots are very bad for our commonwealth.

Centre County Commissioners determine many aspects of daily life. Mark Higgins and Amber Concepcion have worked hard and successfully to serve us, and should continue as Commissioners. They are responsible for ensuring election integrity and are committed to accurate vote counting and broad participation, including access to ballot drop boxes (in contrast to their opponents). They work tirelessly for mental health services, affordable housing, economic development, broadband services and sustainable energy initiatives.

The State College School Board determines educational opportunities and resources. Slate for State candidates Bader, Brandt, Demo, Kolbe and Miller prioritize academic success for all, trust, transparency and fiscal stewardship. Their opponents, supported by Moms for Liberty, are focused on banning books.

Dont take anything for granted. Vote on Nov. 7 for candidates who will preserve Democratic values.
