MONROE – Sen. Rosemary M. Brown (R-40) has unveiled a comprehensive frequently asked questions (FAQ) webpage to address common questions surrounding Pennsylvania elections. The resource is designed to provide voters with clear, factual and unbiased information about how elections are conducted across the commonwealth.

“Ensuring that every voice is heard and every vote is counted is at the core of our democracy,” said Brown. “It is essential that voters feel informed and confident when participating in the election process. My goal with this webpage is to offer a trusted, nonpartisan resource to help voters navigate the upcoming election.”

The new FAQ page addresses increasing concerns from constituents by providing information on topics such as voter registration, ballot access and the vote-counting process without promoting any political viewpoint or reflecting Brown’s policy positions.

M&M’s are releasing the first new permanent flavor since 2022: Peanut Butter and Jelly.

The new flavor is supposed to “evoke the comforting experience of a classic PB&J sandwich,” said Gabrielle Wesley, chief marketing officer of manufacturer Mars Wrigley, during an interview with the New York Post.

Peanut butter M&M’s have long been a fan favorite, but fans are skeptical of the new flavor. During another interview, a critic said, “PBJ only works as the sandwich. Anything flavored like PBJ is usually gross.”
