From Carter to Harris: Pennsylvania woman is oldest delegate at the DNC • Pennsylvania Capital-Star
CHICAGO — Angie Gialloreto of Pennsylvania attended her first Democratic National Convention in 1976, when Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale were on the ticket, and has been to every DNC since. And at 95, she’s believed to be the oldest of the thousands of Democratic delegates, stumping for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid this week with no plans to slow down, she told the Capital-Star in an interview Tuesday.
“I am a Democrat, and I started when I was very young,” said Gialloreto, who said she has been a committee woman in Wilkins Township for 66 years. This year’s election, she said, feels different than many past years. “It’s a new generation, women and people of color are finally not being overlooked and bypassed. It’s a beginning of a new American freedom.”
Gialloreto, who was a delegate for Hillary Clinton in 2016, said Clinton’s Monday night speech was moving. “She should have been president,” Gialloreto said. “But she’s like me, a true Democrat. And I’m so proud of the leadership of my state and this country.”
She advised younger delegates and younger women not to give up the fight, even on days when they are feeling discouraged, and to get involved in politics.
“Some days it fills your heart so much that you can’t explain to people; the enthusiasm that you get,” she said. “But if they feel they have something to contribute to their community it’s worth it. Come try it, you’ll like it.”
She couldn’t choose a favorite convention. But she said President Joe Biden is her favorite Democrat. “I first met him when he was just running as a senator, and I had a feeling about him,” she said.
The youngest Pennsylvania delegate, and one of the youngest at the DNC, is Ellie Goluboff-Schragger, 20, a rising junior at the University of Pennsylvania. “I wanted to see how all this works on a national level and meet all the people that make all of this happen,” she said.
Goluboff-Schragger said she met Gov. Josh Shapiro on Monday and was impressed. “He was so kind, and so amazing,” she said. She also wants to meet Vice President Kamala Harris, of course, but also U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), whom Goluboff-Schragger said really resonates with younger voters.
She’s listening this week to how Democrats speak on the issues most important to her and her peers. “As a woman, obviously reproductive rights are important; as a gay woman, I think LGBTQ rights are really important,” she said. “The right for me to get married is really important to me, and the right to choose what I do with my body and be able to have a kid without being worried about, you know, what we heard at the convention last night happening.”
She referred to a group of women who told their stories of having difficulty accessing abortion care during Monday night’s start of the convention. “Kamala Harris has been an incredible advocate for abortion rights and reproductive rights, and Tim Walz has been an advocate for LGBTQ rights, since the very beginning. So I think those are the things that matter most.”
For Gialloreto, she’s planning to treat the upcoming election the same as she has all past elections: as a call to get to work. “I believe in freedom. I believe in America,” she said. “I’m just a happy 95-year-old woman that’s going to work my head off to get Kamala elected.”
Although he voted for the first iteration of the bill, which cut funding for Medicaid and Medicare, Fitzpatrick ultimately voted against it a few months later. Mackenzie and Bresnahan, however, did vote for its ultimate passage, which their opponents have been quick to jump on.
“Rob Bresnahan unleashed a health care crisis on Northeastern Pennsylvania by voting for the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, stripping funding from our rural hospitals, and failing to take meaningful action in time to prevent health care costs from skyrocketing for Northeastern Pennsylvanians next month,” Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti said in a statement.
“Ryan Mackenzie’s eleventh hour attempt to paper over his own record of gutting health care and jacking up costs is like an arsonist calling the fire department after he already lit the match,” said firefighter Bob Brooks, who is running to replace Mackenzie. “Hardworking people all across the Lehigh Valley are struggling with rising prices and a health care crisis that Mackenzie unleashed when he voted for Trump’s so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’”
Neither Fitzpatrick nor Bresnahan responded to WHYY News’ requests for comment, but Mackenzie replied with a statement in which he called the health care crisis “a serious issue with real-world consequences” and said “we must find commonsense, bipartisan solutions to protect access to health insurance for families in the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos.”
Mackenzie’s office pushed back on the characterization that the congressman waited until “the 11th hour,” arguing he has spent several months working with members on both sides of the aisle to find a bipartisan compromise. They also pointed out that Mackenzie participated in a televised town hall in September, during which he discussed the impending health care crisis.
Sans bipartisan compromise, Mackenzie called the three-year extension “the only remaining option.” He further blamed Democrats for failing to sign onto his efforts for compromise that would include “longer-term reforms that reduce costs.”
“The Affordable Care Act remains broken, and our health care system is in urgent need of reforms that improve transparency, expand choice, and reduce costs,” he said. “Supporting this discharge petition is currently the only way to keep discussions about bipartisan reforms alive.”
Harvie disputes that contention and that the “so-called problem solvers” among the Republican Party have their constituents’ best interests at heart.
“The Republican party’s been trying to kill the Affordable Care Act since it was originally passed, and I think this is just another step of what they’re trying to do and they’re trying to make it look like they’re not doing it,” he said. “Democrats have been fighting for people to have access to health care access that really is meaningful to expand health care opportunities for people.”

(WHTM) — Legislation is in the works for a statewide warning system to locate missing children with autism.
State Rep. Robert Leadbeter (R-Columbia County) announced the formal introduction of a bill to create a “Purple Alert” system. It would quickly notify police and community members when a child with autism, or other cognitive issues, is missing.
His bill is called “Aiden’s Law,” named for a young boy in Columbia County, who disappeared earlier this year and drowned in the Susquehanna River. Leadbeter said a “Purple Alert” system would fill a gap in Pennsylvania.
“So, individuals with cognitive disabilities are able to then, if they go missing, have an alert go out to law enforcement organizations that work directly with them and that’ll save time expand resources, and ideally result in a safe return home for the missing individual,” Leadbeter said.
In this bill, the system would mirror others like Amber Alerts for missing children in danger and Silver Alerts for missing seniors.
