Pennsylvanians, it's time to #vote! Polls are open tomorrow (Tuesday) from 7am to 8pm. Find your local polling place here: https://www.pa.gov/services/vote/find-your-local-polling-place

If you have a mail-in or absentee ballot for this election, don't drop it in the mail (by now it won't arrive in time to be counted), but take it in person to any official drop-box or election office in your county and deposit it there: https://www.pa.gov/agencies/vote/voter-support/mail-in-and-absentee-ballot/return-ballot. (These are usually different locations than your in-person voting location.) #PAPol

My PA state representative, Chris Rabb, is now running for US Congress. There's been a fair bit published about the House seat he and others are vying for (PA-3), but not as much about folks running for the state House seat he's vacating (PA House District 200). Here's more about them from the Inquirer https://www.inquirer.com/news/pennsylvania/chris-rabb-replacement-johnson-qasim-rashad-deshawnda-williams-mount-airy-20260514.html and the Chestnut Hill Local: https://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/stories/open-seat-in-200th-district-draws-three-candidates-for-primary,40856

Primary election day in PA is Tuesday, May 19, just 5 days from now. Research your local candidates, and vote! #PAPol

As a personal piece of advice, I'd recommend PA voters vote in person if they can, or plan to use an official drop box / return location for absentee or mail-in ballots. (Every county has them; find out where they are in advance here: https://www.pa.gov/agencies/vote/voter-support/mail-in-and-absentee-ballot/return-ballot ) Trump is already attempting to interfere with delivery of mail ballots, and might succeed to some extent via control of the US Postal Service, whether or not that's legal under state or local laws: https://news.ballotpedia.org/2026/04/02/trump-signs-absentee-mail-in-voting-executive-order/ #PAPol #USPol

If you're a Wisconsin citizen, get out and vote today. If you're a citizen of another state, your turn is likely coming soon. In Pennsylvania, for instance, the primary is on May 19, but you'll need to register by May 4 if you haven't already registered, if you've moved, or if you want to register to vote in a particular party's primary when you haven't done that before. Here's where you can find out more, and do whatever you need to prepare: https://vote.pa/ #PAPol #vote #USPol

McKeesport has a new mayor today:

After 14 years, Mayor Michael Cherepko announced his retirement at the beginning of Wednesday’s city council meeting, saying that although he loved the job, it had taken a toll on him and his family.

Council voted 7-0 to appoint City Administrator Tom Maglicco, a lifelong resident and U.S. Army veteran, to fill the remaining 23 months of Cherepko’s term.
