So, here they are. The Democratic challengers to incumbent Republican State Senators. What do you know about them? Which are socially progressive and fiscally responsible? Which should PA members of Democracy for America be supporting? Please leave a Comment with your thoughts. Please also indicate if you live in the district.
Note that the Republicans hold a ten seat majority in the fifty seat state senate. In order to flip control of that body, Democrats need to win six of the seven contested races and hold all their current seats.
