HD-163: PA House Majority Rides On Outcome

[RandySF]

In a small corner of southeastern Pennsylvania sits House District 163.

HD-163 includes the Delaware County municipalities of Aldan, Clifton Heights, Collingdale, and parts of Darby and Upper Darby Townships.

There are a little more than 43,000 voters in the District and it will be up to them to determine if Democrats continue to hold the majority in the Pennsylvania House.

No disrespect intended to HD-108, where Mike Stender (R), Trevor Finn (D) and Elijah Scretchling (L) will square off in another special election on May 16, but that seat has been comfortably in GOP hands since 1972.

Mike Zabel became the first Democrat to win the District since 1979 with his 2018 victory, defeating incumbent Jamie Santora, 53%-47%. He increased his vote total to 60.3 percent in 2020 and 64.8% last November in winning reelection.

1. Probably a red district, but it does have blue neighbors, so, it's about who votes.

Wouldn't wager a cent on it, either way.

3. Biden +25.6 but take nothing for granted.

4. Yes, but, in that state, in those areas, down-tickets went red, even where Biden won.

2. Delaware County, man...

Two steps above Appalachia in some places.
