Pennsylvania Republicans held on to two state House seats yesterday in special elections, critical to keeping the Party within striking range of majority control. Here in Blair County, Andrea Verobish defeated Caleb McCoy in the 79th House District, securing 57% of the vote to McCoy’s 42%. Elsewhere, preliminary counts showed Catherine Wallen of York Springs prevailing over Todd Crawley in the 193rd House District, which covers parts of Adams and Cumberland Counties. Going into yesterday’s voting, Democrats held a slim 102-98 majority in the House, a margin that will move to 102-100 after the winners are seated.
