The Elk County Democratic Committee is excited to announce that State Representative Malcolm Kenyatta (D-Philadelphia) will be joining them this Saturday November 5th at 10:00am to help us kick off their “Election Eve Weekend of Action” at the Committee’s 2022 Headquarters, 210 Brusselles St. in Downtown Saint Marys. Malcolm has been travelling across the state throughout the summer and fall speaking on behalf of John Fetterman for the United States Senate and Democrats up and down the ballot.

As the first openly LGBTQ+ person of color and one of the youngest members elected to the PA General Assembly in 2018, Kenyatta is deeply committed to creating an equitable and inclusive society. As a legislator, he has championed proposals to address generational poverty, raise the minimum wage, protect workers’ rights, increase access to mental healthcare, stem the rise of gun violence, and protect our digital infrastructure.

Kenyatta will be joined by Erica Vogt, candidate for Representative in the General Assembly – 75th District which covers all of Elk County and the northwest portion of Clearfield County A strong believer in public education, and as a public educator herself, Erica knows that our schools need and deserve more funding. Our teachers warrant the recognition for the job they do. With aging parents, Erica understands the importance of providing the care to seniors that they need. As an environmentalist, Erica will work to increase the environmental sustainability in our area. A small business owner, Erica wants to see small businesses flourish. She understands they are key to our rural economy.

The Committee’s “Election Eve Weekend of Action” will feature phone banking to local voters, canvassing of neighborhoods across the county, ballot chasing, and other voter engagement activities. All area Democrats are encouraged to come and meet the special guests and stick around and help engage and energize fellow voters.
