HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Two swing districts in a swing county may very well decide which party controls the House in the swing state of Pennsylvania, one
FILE - Pedestrians walk past the Pennsylvania Capitol in Harrisburg, Pa., Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2019. They represent swing districts in a swing county in one of the swingiest of states, so the political struggle for partisan control of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives this fall very well may come down to the fate of two freshmen legislators in the suburbs north of Philadelphia — one a Democrat and the other a Republican. HARRISBURG, Pa.
All told, groups aligned with Democrats and Republicans are planning to pour a couple hundred million dollars into state legislative battles. Nearly 5,800 legislative seats in 44 states are up for election this year. The top targets include a half-dozen states where control of a chamber is in play — Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
“If the election were held tomorrow, I’d feel great about it,” said Pennsylvania state Rep. Josh Kail, head of the campaign efforts for Pennsylvania House Republicans. The ruling gave Democrats a new campaign theme for the 2022 legislative elections, which were the first conducted under voting districts redrawn using 2020 census data. Democrats wrested control of legislative chambers away from Republicans in Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania.
“To some extent, people are looking for common sense,” Payne said. “They don’t want anybody who’s too extreme on one side or too extreme on the other.”
