Following is a listing of executive, legislative and electoral action from the week of May 20. The state House of Representatives was in session at press time. The Pennsylvania Senate was in recess, with senators were scheduled to return to session June 3.
Special Elections
Three special elections were held May 22, alongside the statewide judicial and municipal primaries, and they brought each house of the General Assembly up to full strength.
Republicans won all three of the races, which were held in staunchly GOP districts.
In the 33rd Senate District, Doug Mastriano, a retired U.S. Army colonel from Franklin County, defeated Democrat Sarah Hammond, the director of community development for Spring Grove Borough in York County, by 70% to 30%.
