PA-HD42: Democrat Mazzocco to face GOP's Leckenby in state House race to replace Dan Miller
Local Democrats and Republicans have chosen their nominees to replace state Rep. Dan Miller in a special election next month, with Democrats selecting a Dormont borough councilor and the GOP rallying behind a recent law-school graduate who sought the South Hills seat in 2024.
Jennifer Mazzocco was chosen over Alliyson Feldmann to represent Democrats in the Feb. 24 special election for the 42nd House District, after winning the support of local Democratic Party leaders Saturday afternoon.
She will face Republican Joseph Leckenby of Mt. Lebanon.
“We were so lucky to have two strong women candidates in this district, and I'm so excited to keep this district blue,” Mazzocco said after winning the vote of party leaders by a margin of 77 to 27.
