This isn't exactly pertinent to the Governor's race, but a very interesting primary just opened up in State House District 96, which covers Lancaster City. Lancaster City Council President Ismail Smith-Wade-El has launched a challenge against incumbent Mike Sturla, who has represented the district since 1991.

That is a fascinating last name. Anyone know the story behind it?

Any reason why there hasn't been nearly as much discussion about this race?

It seems as if the state GOP and the media have been focused on the Senate race. Especially odd since I think Barletta and Mastriano are both horrible candidates for a very winnable race like PA-GOV in a Republican year.

Is Shapiro just that strong of a candidate that people just expect him to win in spite of the political winds?

Combination of a completely uncompetitive D primary and a completely stupid GOP clown car primary, minus the interesting personalities like we have in the Senate primary. Nobody gives a sh*t about Mastriano or Barletta or White. They're all boring. At least there's been some fun jabs between Oz and McCormick.

This is why I think Shapiro could win even if the Republicans hold the Senate seat. He's a strong candidate who has the full backing of his party, while his Republican opponents are unimpressive.

Yea, Shapiro has much better chances of winning then what ever democrat wins the nomination for senate. I wouldn’t put it in the top 3 competitive gov races

Shapiro continues to out-smart the competition



Are we gonna all ignore the real question here? What DOES happen to pets in a divorce?!

Honestly from what I read you really don’t wanna know

Melissa Hart winning Allegheny after dropping out is surprising

Carrie DelRosso has kept a pretty consistent lead in the R Lt Gov race all night. Looks like she will be the winner.

What’s wild to me is how split it is. You have 5 candidates with 10% or more votes

I am becoming increasingly convinced that we should implement a forum-wide ban on people not from PA commenting on PA races. It is clear that none of you have any idea what you're talking about.

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Club for Growth doesn’t endorse Shapiro

Given the trajectory of this race, you wonder who Shapiro may want/appoint as AG in his place. Would think Conor Lamb, especially with prosecutorial background, is the top choice.

Lamb wouldn’t surprise me, idk how well he and Shapiro get along. Shapiro could also just as easily appoint a former aide/some departmental official as a place holder

Entirely random but I don’t think it was brought up

Mastriano confederate flag supporting is ridiculous, but even more so that he is literally the state senator for GETTYSBURG

Don’t really know where to put this, but I suppose we can make it a general PA threas.

Anyways Lamb is planning a political comeback:



I feel Lamb’s consolation prize of getting AG has been assumed for months now
