The victory in the 37th District gives Democrats hope for winning additional Senate seats next year.
PITTSBURGH, PA - Democrat Pam Iovino won the special election for Pennsylvania's 37th Senatorial District Tuesday, flipping a seat that's been under Republican control for most of the past five decades.

With 100 percent of Allegheny County precincts reporting, Iovino had 31,152 votes to Raja's 26,999, giving her a 53.5-to-46.3 percent edge. Final results from the portion of the district in Washington County were not immediately available Wednesday morning, but they will not alter the election outcome.
