State College resident Divine Lipscomb announced that he is seeking election to borough council this year.
“For our communities to be a place where everyone can thrive, we cannot let the richest 1% and the politicians they pay for continue to exploit divisions among us based on what we look like, where we come from, or how much money we have,” Lipscomb said in a statement.
Lipscomb, an adult learner Penn State student who works in advocacy for supporting the reentry of formerly incarcerated individuals, added that he believes it is important for residents who live below the poverty line to have representation on council.
