Committee to host a drive-thru event to stock Little Free Pantries of Beaver County and collect petition signatures required for Democrats to be listed on the primary ballot in May.
Rochester, Pa.—The Beaver County Democratic Committee is partnering with prospective candidates to gather signatures in a drive-thru event this Saturday, February 27, 2021, from 10 am until 4 pm at the Beaver County Courthouse Parking Garage, 900 3rd Street, Beaver, PA.

The Committee also recognizes that COVID has brought challenges to many of our neighbors, so in conjunction with collecting signatures, they are requesting donations of non-perishable food and dry goods that Committee volunteers will deliver to the eleven Little Free Pantries throughout the county.
“In 2021, Democrats are dedicated to helping improve Beaver County for all residents,” said Committee President Terri Mitko. “We are proud to pair our necessary political work with donations that benefit the Little Free Pantries.”
All non-perishable foods, except for glass jars and canned goods, will be accepted. Especially requested:
Pasta
Spaghetti sauce in plastic jars
Mac and Cheese
Ramen Noodles
Cups of soup
Dry cereal
Oatmeal
Powdered milk
Shampoo
Conditioner
Bars of soap

Braddock, PA — Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman is not happy that US Senate Parliamentarian ruled that the $15 minimum wage can not be included in the Covid relief package on Thursday.
In a press release the Lt Governor said: “Since the Senate Parliamentarian won’t allow a $15 minimum wage to go through reconciliation, then it’s time to end the filibuster and raise the minimum wage.”
Fetterman said “Working people across America are struggling and cannot wait any longer. They need a living wage now and maybe if the Senate Parliamentarian made $7.25 an hour, they’d have ruled differently. The fact that I scraped old lead paint off houses for a contractor in the summer of 1985 for $3.50 an hour does not justify paying $7.25 an hour today. It makes me insist on a dignified wage for every worker.”
