SAN ANTONIO—Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy spoke with more than 200 students and community representatives highlighting the impact college voters can have in November’s local and national elections during a “Get Out the Vote” rally at Palo Alto College, Oct. 21.

Kennedy, who was joined at the college by Congressmen Ciro Rodriguez (TX-23rd District) and Charlie Gonzales (TX-20th District), is serving his seventh term as a Rhode Island congressman and is the son of U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy.

Elected officers from PAC’s Student Government Association welcomed Kennedy to the southside campus and engaged in a discussion on the importance of getting young voters to the polls during the early voting timeframe and on Election Day.

Palo Alto College, one of The Alamo Colleges, is a fully accredited community college located on the Southside, and awards associate degrees, short-term certificates and offers non-credit continuing education classes.  The campus is located at 1400 W. Villaret Blvd. at I-410 South and Texas Hwy. 16 or online at www.accd.edu/pac <http://www.accd.edu/pac> .
