Predictions
Special elections
22nd district
After being elected Lehigh County Executive, Representative Joshua Siegel resigned from the state House on December 17, 2025. A special election is scheduled for February 24.[4] The Democratic Party initially chose Julian Guridy, a staffer to state Senator Nick Miller, as its candidate. However, Guridy did not met the residency requirement to run for the state House and was forced to withdraw.[5] He was replaced by Allentown School Board member Ana Tiburcio.[6] The Republican Party has selected its 2022 nominee Robert E. Smith Jr., a former Allentown School Board member.[7] Tiburcio won the election.
42nd district
Representative Dan Miller was elected as a judge in Allegheny County in 2025 and resigned from the state House on December 17, 2025. A special election is scheduled for February 24.[4] The Democratic Party selected Dormont borough councilor Jennifer Mazzocco. The Republican Party selected 2024 nominee Joseph Leckenby.[9] Mazzocco won the election.
79th district
Representative Lou Schmitt was elected as a judge in Blair County in 2025 and resigned on December 31.[11] A special election is scheduled for March 17.[12] The Republican Party has chosen Andrea Verobish, a staffer for Congressman Glenn Thompson, as its candidate.[13] The Democratic Party nominated registered nurse Caleb McCoy.[14] Verobish won the election.
193rd district
Representative Torren Ecker was elected as a judge in Adams County in 2025 and resigned on December 30.[11] A special election is scheduled for March 17.[12] On January 15, Republicans in Cumberland and Adams counties selected Ecker staffer Catherine Wallen to be their nominee.[16] On January 24, Democrats nominated former Harrisburg Area Community College official Todd Crawley.[17] Wallen won the election.
196th district
Representative Seth Grove announced that he would resign effective January 31. He had previously stated that he would not seek reelection in 2026. Since January 1, Grove was CEO of the Pennsylvania Aggregates and Concrete Association, a lobbying group. Because he was also the minority chair of the Labor & Industry Committee, Grove faced accusations of a conflict of interest and announced his resignation under scrutiny.[18] A special election is scheduled to coincide with the primary election on May 19.[19]
