A special election to select a new state representative for parts of Lower Bucks will be held Tuesday, Feb. 13, and has statewide implications in who controls the Pennsylvania legislature. The balance of the Pennsylvania House, currently tied at 101-101, is on the line for a fourth time in less than a year. Pennsylvania’s 140th Legislative District encompasses Morrisville and Tullytown boroughs, Falls Township, and a section of Middletown Township. Two candidates are running to replace longtime Democratic Rep. John Galloway, who resigned to become a magisterial district judge. The candidates — Republican Candace Cabanas and Democrat Jim Prokopiak — are running to serve the final year of Galloway’s term, and are also trying to get on the ballot for the forthcoming primary election. A two-year term representing the district will be up for grabs again in November. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. Find out more about the special election here.
