PA Democrats Secure State House Majority With Allegheny, Lehigh Special Wins
TL;DR
Democrats in the Pennsylvania House preserved their 102-seat majority by winning two special elections in Allegheny (42nd District) and Lehigh (22nd District) counties: Jen Mazzocco and Ana Tiburcio won for Democrats, replacing Republicans who vacated the seats. The wins leave three GOP-held seats still to be filled later this year, keeping the chamber at 102-98 until those elections occur. Additional special elections are scheduled in March to fill unexpired terms for Schmitt and Ecker and a May primary for Seth Grove’s seat, with George Margetas listed as the sole candidate for the 196th District race.
