Democrats have won control of the Pennsylvania House by sweeping three special elections. The GOP still controls the Senate.
Democrats won control of the Pennsylvania House in special elections Tuesday, wresting partial power from Republicans for the first time in a dozen years in the competitive swing state.
That left Republicans with more people in the House than Democrats and led to a political impasse. The chamber elected Democratic Rep. Mark Rozzi as speaker as the new session began on Jan. 3, but only after Republican leaders and a few other GOP members joined with all Democrats on the vote. A few minutes after McClinton was done speaking, the clerk's office sent out an email with notice of House floor sessions to resume in two weeks.
