Centre County commissioner Michael Pipe, 29, is running for re-election. Pipe graduated from Penn State in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in political science and was first elected to office in 2011.

Pipe says his youth allows him to connect with students and being raised in Centre County allowed him to interact with older residents.  Pipe says he believes his volunteers, ages 18 to 65, make a successful campaign. Pipe says his second run for commissioner aims to bring people together.
