Pennsylvania residents continue to be devastated by coronavirus cases and deaths throughout the state. We need honest, hardworking leaders willing to make tough ethical decisions to save people’s lives and shore up our society and economy. Democratic auditor general candidate Scott Conklin of Centre County is the leader we need today.
Conklin offers decades of small business and governmental experience. He has built consensus with many Republican lawmakers to pass important bills for families. Examples include laws combating domestic violence, including the teaching of teen dating violence in schools, and the electronic monitoring of an alleged abuser in certain domestic violence cases. He has fought against waste, fraud and predatory practices. Recently, Conklin introduced a bill to suspend cost-of-living raises for state lawmakers and administration officials for three years in light of the coronavirus crisis impact.
Rural and small-town voices matter. E pluribus unum: We stand united for democracy and the U.S. Constitution. Let’s stand united for workers and their families, Social Security and Medicare, health care, education and the environment.
Conklin will support the Democratic presidential nominee and will campaign voters to come out on Election Day. Who will campaign directly in rural Pennsylvania and turn out the vote for the presidential candidate? Only Conklin.
Please vote for Conklin for auditor general. He will bring leadership against waste and fraud, and help defeat President Trump, who is failing to lead our nation out of the pandemic.
