Democrats have near-full candidate slates in PA House, Senate elections

[RandySF]

Democrats have put together their largest slate of state House and Senate candidates in years. Come November, they’re hoping to start reversing Republicans’ massive majorities in both chambers.

The GOP currently controls 121 of the House’s 203 seats, and 34 of the Senate’s 50. But Democratic officials said if any year will shift the numbers, it’s this one.

Nathan Davidson, with the House Democratic Campaign Committee, said the party’s lineup of 180 candidates is its biggest since at least 2000.

They left 22 Republicans without challengers. Meanwhile, 51 House Democrats don’t have GOP opponents.

1. This is good, but I would love to see candidates in every race.

You never know when a "safe" Republican will melt down over some scandal. We should be there to pick that seat up. No need to spend more than the filing fee, just have a name on the ballot.

2. Rome wasn't built in one day...

I just take the good news and hope we get some major progress.
