PA-HD32: Voters to select successor to state Rep. DeLuca in upcoming special election
Residents of Oakmont, Verona and most of Plum will vote for a new state representative on Feb. 7.
The special election for the 32nd state House district is one of three scheduled for that day in Allegheny County. The others are for the 34th and 35th districts.
Only residents registered to vote in those districts will participate in the elections. Information on the elections is available online.
A special election is being held in the 32nd District because of the death of state Rep. Tony DeLuca, D-Penn Hills, who was 85 when he died in October from lymphoma.
Despite his death, DeLuca’s name remained on November ballots because it was too late to change them. He won by a more than 6-to-1 margin over Green Party candidate Queonia “Zarah” Livingston; there was no Republican candidate.
In addition to all of Oakmont and Verona and part of Plum, the 32nd District includes all of Penn Hills. About 46,400 voters are registered in the district, according to Allegheny County.
