PA-HD32: Special Election Preview
“Super Tuesday” in Allegheny County takes place on February 7 with three special Pennsylvania House elections that will determine the majority party in the chamber for the 2023-24 session.
You will recall that Democrats won 102 of the 203 House races in November, only to lose two seats to resignation for higher office for Summer Lee and Austin Davis, along with the October passing of long-time state Rep. Tony DeLuca who was re-elected posthumously......
In the 32nd District, the Democratic candidate – Joe McAndrew – will take on GOP candidate Clayton Walker. The seat had been occupied by DeLuca since 1983.
McAndrew, a long-time fixture in the local Democratic party from Penn Hills, looks to advance a more worker-friendly and progressive agenda. He has served as the Executive Director of the Allegheny County Democratic Committee and more recently with the PADems as a member of Congressman-elect Chris Deluzio’s campaign team. McAndrew currently serves as chair of the Penn Hills Democratic Committee.
He told a League of Women Voters survey that “I will prioritize policies that will place every-day working Pennsylvanians before corporations. Expanding rights of all Pennsylvanians including women’s rights and codifying rights of the LGBTQ+ community. I will support stronger unions and raising the minimum wage for our workers. I will work in sensible ways to generate avenues to work together with other legislatures to achieve these goals.”
