@RepJaredSolomon explains only 10-20% registered voters participate in PA primaries.
If independents are included, participation can go up 15 to 20%.
@RepConklin says he's supported #openprimaries for 18 years.
HB 979 passes 14-11.

More than 50 students from 16 colleges and universities across the state were in Harrisburg to repeal closed primary elections.
Pennsylvania is one of only seven states to completely exclude independent voters from voting in primary elections. (1/4)

#LevelUp funding was included in the PA House's code bill for the most underfunded school districts in PA. Thank you, @RepConklin . #FundPAPublicSchools

Thank you @RepConklin for scheduling consideration of bills addressing PA closed primaries: Oct. 17.
PA is 1 of only 9 states that block independent voters from a voice in publicly funded primary elections.
It's time to give #bipartisansolutions a vote.

This is huge, historic news. Open primaries legislation has come up in PA many times since 1995 and NEVER before come up for a House committee vote. Amid the dysfunction in Washington, and the political exhaustion of the American public, there is hope. Thank you @repscottconklin

Pennsylvania should be a place for second chances.
That’s why we’re pushing for a new process that allows pardoned Pennsylvanians to clear their records automatically.

Yesterday I signed an Executive Order to make it easier for women, minority, and veteran-owned small businesses to compete for contracts with our Commonwealth.
Because it's not just the right thing to do. It's the smart thing to do.

Lane restrictions on Atherton & Beaver around the Atherton/Beaver intersection will still be in place Saturday. Expect extreme congestion during the morning. People attempting to get to their "W" parking spots from the west and south should expect considerable delays.

Proud to have companion legislation on this with my Senator @SenSharifStreet — we agree that Pennsylvanians deserve a better seat at the table in the 2024 election. – at Scranton, PA
Proud to see the State Govt. Committee pass my bill to move up date of PA’s Presidential primary election this week!
This gives the voices of Pennsylvanians the weight they deserve & avoids the current conflict w/ Passover for those of Jewish faith.

Two union representatives were arrested at Harrisburg Area Community College on Wednesday for informing members about their union rights.
HACC called the arrests a "publicity stunt."

@RepHaddock went to CTC for carpentry (as did @RepConklin) trade schools teach business skills that you can take through your whole life and is a great career path.
Rep. Scott Conklin retweeted
@RepConklin talks about the stigma that exists for CTC and how to change the perception? Answer: reliance on guidance counselors and exploratory programs for the kids and hearing the success stories which is harder in larger districts.

Thank you Chairman for ensuring Pennsylvania has a greater seat at the table!
