Sen. Pennycuick on the Rise in Political Violence, Fight Against AI Child Porn

Delaware Valley Journal

State Sen. Tracy Pennycuick (R-Berks/Montgomery) is a 26-year Army veteran who flew missions in Iraq, so she knows how to handle an ugly fight. But she tells DVJournal's Linda Stein that some of the ugliest things she's seen involve the new ways AI is being used to generate child porn. 

Now she's using her position as chair of the Senate Communications and Technology Committee to fight back against this high-tech form of child abuse.

Pennycuick also talks about the spike in political violence, most recently in evidence at the Pennsylvania governor's mansion when an arsonist set the building ablaze as Gov. Shapiro and his family slept inside.

The problem of political violence is also addressed by former Delaware Valley congressman Jim Gerlach, who is part of the bipartisan Democracy Defense Project. Their goal is to build trust in America's political institutions and push back on those who turn to extreme rhetoric to attack our democracy.
