Delaware County Legislative Delegation responds to PECO’s proposed rate hikes

(Apr 01, 2026) Rep. Leanne Krueger

DELAWARE COUNTY, April 1 – On Monday, PECO filed a request with the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission to significantly increase their gas and electric rates beginning next year. On average, these rate hikes would cost families an additional $20.08 per month for electricity and $14.52 per month for natural gas. Members of the Delaware County Legislative Delegation offered the following statements in response: “PECO’s request to raise their prices comes at a time when we’re already seeing unprecedented expenses for basic necessities due to rapid tech innovation, extreme federal actions and our county’s strained health care systems,” Rep. Gina Curry said. “This proposed increase is not just about dollars, it’s about equity. Our most vulnerable communities are already carrying the heaviest burden, and they should not be asked to pay more for basic necessities. Energy is a right, not a luxury.” “Our working families are contending with surging prices on everything from groceries to gasoline,” said Speaker of the House Joanna McClinton, D-Phila./Delaware. “In Harrisburg we’re working to help families manage the economic uncertainty stemming from mismanagement in Washington with policies like the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit, but a price hike in their monthly PECO bill makes it harder and harder for families to get ahead.” Read more

Krueger to host Criminal Record Clearing Clinic with the Delco Defenders

(Mar 24, 2026) Rep. Leanne Krueger

BROOKHAVEN, March 24 – In April, state Rep. Leanne Krueger, D-Delaware, and the Delco Defenders criminal defense team are making it possible for people with qualifying criminal histories to clear or seal their records, smoothing their path to employment, stable housing, and more. “Many people convicted of low-level, nonviolent offenses are one-time offenders,” said Krueger. “Yet the impact of that single mistake can follow them into their future, making it harder to access housing, land jobs, and get accepted into educational programs. These are essential to helping our most vulnerable residents build stable lives.” In Pennsylvania, certain convictions can be cleared from a person’s record if they’ve met the requirements of their sentencing, remain free from further arrests, and a certain amount of time has passed. Clearing a record removes it completely and, for those eligible, can be applied to summary offenses such as loitering, low-level retail theft, and disorderly conduct. Records can be sealed—preventing them from appearing in most background checks—for low-level felony and misdemeanor convictions such as reckless endangerment, DUI, resisting arrest, prostitution, and other crimes. Krueger and the Delco Defenders criminal defense team from the Delaware County Office of the Public Defender will come together from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Read more

Krueger: $20,000 to address food insecurity at Neumann University

(Mar 05, 2026) Rep. Leanne Krueger

BROOKHAVEN, March 5 – The Pennsylvania Department of Education has awarded a $20,000 grant to combat student hunger at Neumann University in Aston, state Rep. Leanne Krueger, D-Delaware, announced today. Krueger said the grant will be used to expand access to food options, create food insecurity awareness initiatives, and upgrade facilities. “Too often, students facing food insecurity keep their struggle private, or don’t know where to turn when they’re trying to balance hunger with the demands – and costs – of their studies,” said Krueger. “When college campuses offer easy-access programs and resources to address food insecurity, these students can get the support they need without worrying about the stigma sometimes associated with it.” Neumann University is one of 30 institutions receiving a grant through the PA Hunger-Free Campus program. All of the recipients are members of the Hunger-Free Campus Initiative, a coalition of Pennsylvania institutions of higher education working to address student hunger and other basic needs. The PA Hunger-Free Campus program is part of PDE’s PA EmpowerU , a statewide student-success and basic needs initiative built around eight keystones that represent the full spectrum of what students need to succeed, including financial stability, housing security, food access, transportation support, mental Read more
