12. Dems were expected to hold this seat

Galloway, who resigned after winning a district magistrate election, ran unopposed in 2022.
Turnout was 23% but Prokopiak won every precinct. The reddest part of the district is where it curves around Levittown to the west, but even there Prokopiak won the most Republican area where turnout % was the highest.

13. In 2020 Bucks went for Biden, but all else down ticket went red

Voters are figuring out that they can't fall in love with candidates anymore. The crazies must be kept our of power and that matters more.

Holding these local seats prevent cheating in the national elections.
