Democrats are celebrating a suburban Philadelphia state House win that gives them barely enough seats to take the chamber majority after 12 years.
UNITED STATES - AUGUST 19: The Pennsylvania State Capitol building is seen on Friday, August 19, 2022. Democrats won a suburban Philadelphia state House race Friday, giving them barely enough seats to take the chamber majority after 12 years, although two of their reelected incumbents also won higher offices and a third died in October.
Her win means Democrats flipped a net of 12 districts, the precise number they needed to control the House at the start of the 2023-24 session in January. Lee's swearing in to Congress is set for Jan. 3, the same day the Pennsylvania House starts its new session. Davis and Democratic Gov.-elect Josh Shapiro will be inaugurated on Jan. 17.
