“Democrat James Malone is projected to win a special election for the state Senate in Pennsylvania in a district that President Donald Trump won by 15 points in November. The race was too early to call late Tuesday. With 99 percent of the estimated vote counted, Malone, the mayor of East Petersburg, was leading his Republican opponent, Lancaster County Commissioner Josh Parsons, by less than 500 votes, according to returns posted by the Pennsylvania Secretary of State. However, Democrats declared victory …. Meanwhile, Parsons wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that he was ‘disappointed in the numbers’ and that ‘it appears we will come up a little short.’ The candidates were running to fill a vacancy in northern Lancaster County after state Senator Ryan Aument, a Republican, quit to take a job working for U.S. Senator Dave McCormick.” (03/25/25)
