What To Watch For In Tonight’s PA-12 Special Election

PA-12 House candidates Mark Critz (D) and Tim Burns (R)

The two candidates vying for the late John Murtha’s set have been battling in a race that’s been neck and neck for the last two months. So it’s no surprise this race is going to depend on voter turnout — which is lower today because of the rain — and where the parties can get their supporters out.

Terry Madonna, the well-known political analyst at Franklin & Marshall College told us that for Critz to win, he will need a big margin in the Democratic strongholds of Cambria County, particularly in the Johnstown area, and in Westmoreland county, particular in the New Kensington area.
