John,
Today, on the last day of Black History Month, more history has been made: Pennsylvania State Representative and NPP Board Member, Joanna McClinton, has at last been elected Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
Today is a historic day, and Speaker of the House Joanna McClinton personifies everything we admire: hard work, dedication, empathy, compassion, fearlessness, intellect, and cooperation.
It took more than 240 years to give a woman the gavel in the Commonwealth — now a Black woman will preside over the House of Representatives at a pivotal time in the Commonwealth’s history. Representation matters. For young girls (and boys) to see a resilient and powerful woman like Joanna McClinton with the gavel in her hand is a game changer. Her newest leadership role will pay dividends for generations to come. The glass ceiling has been shattered, and the sky is the limit.
In solidarity,
Kadida Kenner
Chief Executive Officer
The New Pennsylvania Project

The New Pennsylvania Project was founded in May 2021 to expand Pennsylvania’s electorate, so it reflects the Commonwealth’s demographically changing population. In the next four years, NPP will engage and empower young residents and those living in underrepresented immigrant communities and communities of color. We register communities to vote, provide civic education about the issues that matter in their neighborhoods, and mobilize Pennsylvanians to vote in every election.
