HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — Democratic control of the lower chamber of the state legislature slipped for the second time this session when State Rep. Sara Innamorato of Allegheny County announced she had resigned from office to focus on her run for Allegheny County chief executive in November.

However, that power was short-lived. In March, Democratic Rep. Mike Zabel resigned under growing pressure from sexual harassment accusers — and the chamber was tied at 101-101. Innamorato said in a statement that leaving now “allows her the opportunity to work with the next representative and fully transition them into the role before the general election in November, ensuring the 21st district has a representative solely focused on advancing the needs of the district.”
The seat Innamorato currently holds weaves through the Allegheny River neighborhoods of the city of Pittsburgh, including the wealthy gentrified neighborhoods of Lawrenceville and the Strip District’s newly high-end residential blocks, along with several northern suburbs which have flipped from Republican to Democratic in the past few cycles.
