MID-TERM ELECTIONS MAY CHANGE FACE OF STATE LEGISLATURE IN PA.

Pennsylvania’s General Assembly may look different next year as dozens of lawmakers retire or look to switch chambers. All 203 seats in the PA House of Representatives and 25 slots in the state Senate are up for election on November 8th.  Republicans have maintained control of both chambers since 2011. However, some political watchdogs say that might change as many lawmakers are also running in newly redrawn districts, which creates opportunities for flipped seats.
