Every state house race in PA determines control lol. This is a rather Dem leaning seat adjacent to Levittown and Trenton.
There's quite a few specials up on Tuesday. In addition to NY03, there is:
- Oklahoma HD39, what should be a safe R hold outside OKC.
- Georgia HD125 and SD30, both should be safe R holds. The house seat is in the suburbs north of Augusta, the senate seat in the exurbs southwest of Atlanta. Both didn't even have Dem challengers in 2022. Though there may be runoffs since there is a large number of Republicans in each race.
- NY HD77, should be a safe D hold in the Bronx.
I forgot about NY 3 on Tuesday too... thank u
Yes, just to clarify for everyone. In the PA House, the parties are basically tied so that any vacancy (and there have been a few since the 2022 election) and PA House is one of those key swing chambers. Republicans were thought to be the favorites but Democrats, under the new maps, did much better than anyone thought and took an unexpected majority.
So every single vacancy in PA matters because it could possibly tip control.
