PA-HD22: Lehigh County's special election Tuesday comes with high stakes for Pennsylvania politics
ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Local voters in a special election could shift the balance of power in Harrisburg when they head to the polls Tuesday to elect their next state representative.
Residents of Allentown and Salisbury Township will choose between Democrat Ana Tiburcio, an Allentown School Board director, and Republican Robert E. Smith Jr., a former school board director, to represent the 22nd state House District for the next nine months.
The winner will complete the term of Josh Siegel, who resigned in December to become Lehigh County executive.
The 22nd District represents the Allentown neighborhoods of Center City and East Allentown, along with the eastern part of Salisbury Township.
