Democrat Lindsay Powell is expected to win a special
election for the 21st district of the Pennsylvania state House of
Representatives.
Powell, director of labor strategies for the nonprofit
InnovatePGH, defeated Republican Erin Connolly Autenreith, a real estate agent
and chairwoman of the Shaler Township Republican Committee, to win the
Allegheny County seat, The Hill reported.
Powell's victory boosted Democrats ahead of Tuesday's state
House special election, which determined which party would control the lower
chamber.
After former state Rep. Sara Innamorato (D) resigned to run
for Allegheny County executive, the state House split 101-101.CBrief
