Ana Tiburcio won Pennsylvania House District 22 in Lehigh County, defeating Republican Robert E. Smith Jr. in a race that the party had to hold at all costs. Across the state, Jennifer Mazzocco claimed District 42 in Allegheny County, beating Republican Joseph Leckenby in the South Hills area near Pittsburgh. Both races were called on Tuesday night, and both winners wasted no time celebrating what felt like more than just a local political victory.

They didn't just win, they won by blowout margins.

Ana Tiburcio won by almost 35 points and Jennifer Mazzocco won by 63 points.

sixty three points - holy fuck, that’s wild. And shockingly good news tbh.

Are they run-of-the-mill Dems or something closer to the left?

Only time will tell. I'm looking at you, Fetterman.

Don't look directly at Fetterman. I think the brain rot is transferred by eye contact.

Duly noted. "glancing askance at fetman."
