I want to publicly recognize two people who have quietly made a big difference in the lives of local residents here in Wayne County. 

From the early days of June, 2026, when the threat of data center construction was upon us (Clinton Township) and considered by local and national politicians as “inevitable,” Kyle Devlin and Dominique Azzollini said, “Not so fast,” and joined with concerned residents in the struggle opposing that construction. 

Quiet and determined, Kyle and Dominique attended nearly all of the Clinton Township meetings (and many others in their respective districts) and aided the heroic residents of Clinton in their determined resistance efforts. Ultimately, they were important figures in ousting the “sure thing” center and preventing the utter degradation of life that the data center would have meant for residents in the Clinton community. 

Subsequently, on the data center issue, along with many other concerned residents, I witnessed both Kyle and Dominique attending Berlin Township supervisors meetings to offer their questions and insights learned from the lessons in Clinton Township. 

If you wish, November 3 (Election Day) is the time you can repay these two dedicated activists. In the early days, when other local and national politicians ran away from residents trying to resist the powerful billionaire driven movement for data centers, these two embraced local citizens and their cause because it was the right thing to do. Back then, one local incumbent politician famously claimed, “It (data centers) is not in my jurisdiction.” Well, if elected, Kyle and Dominique will never run from their constituents. You can be sure of that. So, on Election Day vote payback: vote for Kyle Devlin for PA state representative in the 111th district and Dominique Azzollini for PA state representative in the 139th district. They have earned your trust.
