SpotlightPA reports today that Democrats' pickup of a dozen seats, giving them control of the PA (State) House, was largely due to a decade of population shifts. Those shifts in turn are reflected in this year's redrawing of political lines.
The practical effects for us lefties are significant. With Gov.-elect Josh Shapiro controlling the executive branch, Democrats
will have a much larger say in Harrisburg’s day-to-day agenda. It's been reported that Democrats in the House will put forward policy priorities like:
- raising the minimum wage
- instituting LGBTQ nondiscrimination protections
- blocking controversial constitutional amendments such as those advocated, during the campaign, by Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano
