PA-SD36: 36th Senate Special Election Pits Parsons (R) vs. Malone (D)
The political parties have made their choices and the field is set for the special election on March 25 in Pennsylvania’s 36th Senatorial District.
After the departure of Sen. Ryan Aument (R) to become state director for U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick, the respective parties selected their nominees in votes by the county GOP and Democratic parties.
Republican committee members tabbed Lancaster County Commissioner Josh Parsons, who received 119 of a possible 197 votes to outdistance Rep. Brett Miller (R-41).
“I am honored to earn the nomination for the upcoming special election for State Senate,” he tweeted. “We have a great team and we will work hard over the next two months to win the general election on March 25!”
Democrats chose East Petersburg mayor James Andrew Malone by a two-thirds majority over Ephrata librarian Matthew Good.
