The top-ranking Republican in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives wants a court to prevent voters from filling three vacant seats in February in special elections that will determine majority control of the chamber.
The top-ranking Republican in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives asked a court late Friday to prevent voters from filling three vacant seats in February that will determine majority control of the chamber.
Cutler's filing came days after his Democratic counterpart as floor leader, Rep. Joanna McClinton of Philadelphia, claimed the mantle of the chamber's presiding officer and sent the state orders scheduling the elections for Feb. 7. But one successful Democratic incumbent, Rep. Tony DeLuca of Allegheny County, died at age 85 of cancer a few weeks before voters returned him for another term. Two other Allegheny County Democrats who were reelected, Reps. Austin Davis and Summer Lee, resigned this week ahead of being sworn in next month as lieutenant governor and to Congress.
