22 Days Until Pennsylvania District 21 Special Election!

[Wednesdays]

What’s at stake:
PA-HD21: For third time this year, special election will decide control of Pa. House
Voters in Allegheny County will choose between a Democrat with experience in economic and workforce development and a local Republican committee chairperson to fill the seat recently vacated by former Democratic state Rep. Sara Innamorato.

Democrats have tapped Lindsay Powell, the director of workforce strategies for the Pittsburgh-based nonprofit economic development organization, InnovatePGH. Powell, who lives in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, is also a member of the city’s Urban Redevelopment Authority.

The Republican nominee is Erin Connolly Autenreith of Shaler Township, where she serves as chairperson of the township Republican Committee. Autenreith is a realtor and touts her decades-long career in sales as preparation to serve as a lawmaker.

For the third time since the start of the current legislative session, the special election set for Sept. 19 will determine control of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, as Democrats attempt to regain their one-seat majority.

Innamorato, who was reelected to a third term in the House last year, resigned last month to pursue election as the Democratic nominee for Allegheny County executive. The district includes Millvale, Etna, Shaler Township, Reserve Township and part of Pittsburgh.
