Currently, the Pennsylvania State House Chamber is tied 101 to 101 because a Democrat just resigned.
This is another great lesson in how things get handled under such circumstances. It's Civics 101.
Here's what has transpired. Democratic PA State Representative Rep. Sara Innamorato of Allegheny County (Pittsburgh area) announced she was resigning from her seat Wed. July 19. Immediately, PA State House Speaker Joanna McClinton put a date on the calendar for a special election, September 19, a week before the House is expected to return to session. Innamorato says her next political move will be in local politics. However, she shared that she's willing to take time to help the new State Representative once that person wins the seat.
In a story published by Associated Press, Innamorato revealed that she is running to serve as the Allegheny's county executive. She won the Democratic Primary for the race in May as part of a progressive slate in local elections. She'll face a Republican opponent on November 7, 2023.
Before November 2022, it had been a dozen years since Democrats held the majority of the PA State House.
