Pennsylvania voters will decide Tuesday whether to keep Democrats in control of the House of Representatives and maintain the Republican majority in the Senate, while deciding who should run state offices charged with prosecuting crimes, managing billions of public money and to monitor how this money is used. is spent.

The state House had been under Republican control for more than a decade when redrawn districts helped Democrats claim the narrowest possible margin two years ago, giving them a 102-101 majority. The entire House is up for election , as does half of the state Senate, where the Republican Party currently has a 28-22 majority.

Democrats face a significant challenge to their hopes for a tied Senate. They are expected to retain all of their seats and are likely to flip Republican-held districts in Harrisburg, Erie and west of downtown Pittsburgh.

The so-called line office positions are those of attorney general, auditor general and treasurer.

Republican Treasurer Stacy Garrity of Athens, in rural Bradford County, and Republican Auditor General Tim DeFoor of Harrisburg are both seeking second terms. Garrity’s challenger is Pittsburgh-area Erin McClelland, while DeFoor faces Democrat Malcolm Kenyatta, a state representative from Philadelphia.

Outgoing Attorney General Michelle Henry was appointed to fill an unexpired term and she is not running to retain her position. The race for the state’s top law enforcement post pits York County Prosecutor Dave Sunday, a Republican, against former state Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, a Democrat.

Polls in Pennsylvania are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
