Democrats in the House (PA)!
Democrats keep control of Pennsylvania House with election win
Democrat Dan Goughnour has won a special election in western Pennsylvania. His win Tuesday keeps majority control of the state House in his party’s hands. A second special election for a state Senate seat was close, with the Democrat poised for a possible upset in Lancaster County. Goughnour's victory over Republican Chuck Davis means Democrats hold the House by a single vote, 102 members to 101. Holding the majority means Democrats can keep House Speaker Joanna McClinton of Philadelphia as the chamber’s presiding officer. The Senate race pits Democrat James Andrew Malone against Republican Josh Parsons.

I agree with this strategy. If you're unhappy with national Democratic leadership, go local. All political waves that sweep national elections begin at the local level. Liberals/progressives used to know this, & some still do. It was our playbook before the conservatives used it to get where we are now.
