DLCC targets 27 Pennsylvania legislative seats.
In 2018, Democrats flipped 5 seats in the state Senate and 11 seats in the state House in Pennsylvania, but still remained in the minority. Heading into November, the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee is making a play to flip both chambers in the Keystone State and announced 27 “spotlight candidates” in its push to regain the majority.
“Our lineup of Spotlight candidates in Pennsylvania is prepared to build off of our victories in 2018,” said DLCC President Jessica Post. “These candidates are community leaders, small business owners, and veterans who are determined to continue fighting for their communities in Harrisburg.”
“We’re excited to work with these fantastic candidates to flip both chambers blue and give Pennsylvanians the leadership they deserve,” Post continued.
The DLCC claims in the press release that the “GOP’s hold on the Keystone State continues to loosen,” and cites recent polling that shows former Vice President Joe Biden leading President Donald Trump in the state, the GOP effort in the state legislature opposing Gov. Tom Wolf’s COVID-19 reopen plans, plus House Speaker Mike Turzai (R-Allegheny) resigning in mid June and Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati announcing he won’t seek reelection.
