Democrats have won control of the Pennsylvania House by sweeping three special elections, gaining new power in an important swing state
Sample ballots are photographed on Feb. 3, 2023, for the three Western Pennsylvania districts that will choose new State Representatives on Tuesday, Feb. 7. If Democrats sweep all three districts, which they also won in November, it will give them a 102-101 majority and will be the first time in 12 years that Republicans have not been able to determine what gets voted on. HARRISBURG, Pa.
Democratic state Rep. Tony DeLuca died of cancer in October, shortly before winning reelection. Democratic state Rep. Summer Lee resigned after also winning a congressional election. And Democratic state Rep. Austin Davis quit before being sworn in as lieutenant governor. The House has been frozen since Rozzi took over and has not passed internal operating rules, assigned members to committees or approved any legislation. It’s unclear whether Rozzi will retain the speakership when Democrats convene with their newly elected members.
DeLuca’s former seat was won by Democrat Joe McAndrew, 32, a business owner who is a former state House Democratic staffer and the former executive director of Allegheny County’s Democratic committee. Lee’s former seat was won by Abigail Salisbury, 40, a lawyer and Democratic member of the Swissvale Borough Council. Matthew Gergely, a Democrat who works for the McKeesport city government, was elected to succeed Davis.
