Apparently Turzai inserted himself - or at least people in his district think he did - into a Walmart zoning issue and voters are mad about it. They could take it out on him at the polls since a Dem managed to win a write-in slot during the primary. Before that, Turzai was running unopposed.

Another guy who is losing his grip on his safe Republican seat is the thoroughly reprehensible Darryl Metcalfe.
