ALLENTOWN, PA – February 21, 2026 – Ce-Ce Gerlach, candidate for Pennsylvania House of Representatives in the 22nd District, will launch petition season with a “Latino Launch” press conference at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, February 21st at Bucky Boyle Park, 10 Pump Pl, Allentown. The event will highlight the campaign’s priorities and introduce the campaign’s bilingual outreach team, focused on ensuring voters across the district can access campaign information and participate fully in the democratic process.

The bilingual outreach team will include Allentown City Councilmember Natalie Santos, Deputy Campaign Manager John Santana, community advocates Enid Santiago and Yamelisa Jimenez Taveras, who will help lead outreach efforts in both English and Spanish across the district.

Immediately following the press conference, volunteers and supporters will fan out across the community for a petition-signature canvass to help place Gerlach on the ballot, continuing until 1:00 p.m.

“Petition season is where the work begins – meeting neighbors where they are, listening, and building a campaign that reflects our entire community,” said Ce-Ce Gerlach. “Our district deserves representation that communicates clearly, shows up consistently, and includes everyone – English and Spanish speakers alike.”

Following brief remarks and introductions at 9:30 a.m., Gerlach and members of the bilingual outreach team will be available for interviews. Visuals will include campaign supporters, volunteer canvass launch, petition and campaign materials.
