"Democrats Secure Pennsylvania House Majority in Special Election"

Democrats secured a 102-100 majority in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives after Jim Prokopiak, a former school board member, won a special election in Bucks County. This victory helped Democrats maintain their slim majority in the House, which they have defended in four special elections over the past year. Prokopiak's win followed a Republican lawmaker's resignation, shifting the power back to Democrats. His campaign focused on issues such as K-12 education funding, access to abortions, and raising the minimum wage. The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee plans to spend heavily on statehouse races, aiming to defend the House majority and flip the state Senate in Pennsylvania.
