Democrats retain narrow control of Pennsylvania House after special election
Democrats in the Pennsylvania House will keep their one-vote majority after winning a Pittsburgh area seat in a special election. Voters on Tuesday elected former congressional aide Lindsay Powell, bringing the partisan split to 102-101. Powell defeated Republican challenger Erin Connolly Autenreith in the heavily Democratic district. She replaces progressive former Democratic Rep. Sara Innamorato, who resigned in July to pursue local office. The House is expected to return next week to consider budget legislation two months into an ongoing stalemate.
