Democrats Hold Onto Pennsylvania House by One Seat, Maintaining Slim Majority
The recent Pennsylvania House of Representatives elections resulted in a continued one-seat majority for Democrats. While a scanner issue in Cambria County delayed results in the 72nd District, incumbent Democrat Frank Burns ultimately retained his seat. Though several races were close, including in Philadelphia, Bucks County, and Delaware County, neither party gained an advantage, leaving the chamber’s composition at 102 Democrats and 101 Republicans.
