PA-01, PA-10: Pennsylvania's top House races come down to Perry/Depasquale contest, one other
HARRISBURG — The premier congressional races in Pennsylvania feature two Republican House members from opposite sides of the party's ideological spectrum trying to hang on for another term after recording narrow wins two years ago.
All told, the two races are on track to cost more than $30 million combined as outside money pours in to try to influence the outcome.
In the Bucks County-based 1st District in suburban Philadelphia, second-term U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick is being challenged by Democrat Christina Finello, who maintains that Fitzpatrick has not stood up to President Donald Trump.
Fitzpatrick — who has not pledged to vote for Trump — is one of just three House Republicans in the entire country running for reelection in a district Trump lost during 2016?s presidential contest.
In the Harrisburg-York seat in southcentral Pennsylvania, four-term Republican U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, owner of one of the most conservative voting records in the U.S. House, is being challenged by two-term state Auditor General Eugene DePasquale.
DePasquale has not made Trump much of an issue in the race: Voters in the district backed Trump by 9 percentage points in 2016?s election and Republicans hold a roughly 22,000-person margin over registered Democrats.
