PA-16
Joe Pitts is retiring after 9 terms and would have very likely held onto his seat. Christina Hartman is trying to gain the seat back for the Democrats in an R+4 district and I feel that she has a good shot to do it. I would not have said that one month ago. Lloyd Smucker has put out ads against her, which signals that he is taking this race seriously. I will say that Hartman pulls off the upset by performing very well in Lancaster County, where she is from. There is also a third party candidate running.
Interesting Fact: I recently moved from the King of Prussia Area back close to my hometown and assumed that I was back in PA-6, but I found out about a month ago that I actually live in PA-16. PA Districts are so pathetically gerrymandered, but I believe that she can pull this race out.
Hartman: 50.2
Smucker: 48.7
