Voters in two Pennsylvania counties to choose new state representatives in special elections Tuesday
A pair of special elections for the state House are set Tuesday in Allegheny and Lehigh counties to replace lawmakers who resigned.
In the 22nd Legislative District, Democratic Rep. Joshua Siegel stepped down after he was elected Lehigh County executive.
Democratic Allentown school board member Ana T. Tiburcio, who owns a tax preparation business, is running for the seat against former Allentown school board member Robert E. Smith Jr. He’s a program specialist for a mental health treatment provider. The 22nd District covers parts of Allentown and Salisbury Township.
Tiburcio was the second pick for Lehigh County Democrats, who initially selected Julian Guridy, an aide for state Sen. Nick Miller (D-Lehigh). But, Guridy was unable to run for the seat because he doesn’t meet the state’s four-year residency requirement.
