“As the cost of tuition and meals continues to increase on campuses across the country, we must ensure students have access to food so that they may succeed,” Conklin said. “With 39% of undergraduate students being low-income, many students struggle with accessing affordable food. Through this funding, Penn State will have the opportunity to further combat food insecurity, ensuring its students feel secure, rather than hungry, while attending their classes. The cost of higher education already poses a barrier to students, and we should not allow hunger to pose an additional barrier.” Read more
“By providing infrastructure for EVs, we make EVs more accessible for rural Pennsylvanians, but also to those who travel through central Pennsylvania so they may charge their vehicles,” Conklin said. “Rural areas cover 97% of the country’s land and with the lack of EV charging stations in rural Pennsylvania, it poses a barrier for rural Pennsylvanians and travelers with EVs. Through this funding, we will address this barrier by building up infrastructure at one of Pennsylvania’s largest universities.” Read more

“Rather than giving misinformation, maybe what they should do is go to work at the elections office and find out how it works. There are two audits done in every county, after every election. All these things are there. Rather than trying to disenfranchise voters, it is time that elected officials sit down and work together in getting confidence back in the system.” Read more
