Pennsylvania was one of the most watched states in the county on Tuesday. The 2022 General Election was highlighted by races for U.S. Senate and Governor. Additionally, 17 Congressional seats, 25 seats in the state Senate, and 203 state House seats were on the ballot. Although the vote count isn’t final, let’s take a look at how races throughout the state shaped up.
U.S. Senate
Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman (D) defeated Dr. Mehmet Oz (R) to replace current U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R), who is retiring. Fetterman currently has 2,647,845 votes (51.05%) while Oz has 2,417,647 votes (46.57%).
U.S. House of Representatives
The current Pennsylvania delegation has 18 members, with 9 Republicans and 9 Democrats. After redistricting, the delegation is down to 17 members. They’ll be 9 Democrats and 8 Republicans.

PA Legislature
The makeup of the Senate is already decided for the 2023-2024 legislative session. Republicans will have a 28-22 majority over the Democrats.
The House of Representatives is still up in the air, even though the Democrats held a press conference on Wednesday proclaiming victory and a majority in new session. Currently, Democrats have 101-100 majority, with two seats to be decided. In HD-142 (Bucks), Mark Moffa (D) is up 2 votes over Joe Hogan (R) and in HD-151 (Montgomery) Rep. Todd Stephens (R) is up 26 votes over Melissa Cerrato (D). Final results in those races likely won’t come until early next week.
Another wrinkle in the House is that three special elections will have to take place, at a date yet to be determined.
- HD-32 (Allegheny): Rep. Tony DeLuca (D) passed away
- HD-34 (Allegheny): Rep. Summer Lee (D) will be sworn-in to Congress
