Notable elections

Special election for the 100th legislative district

A special election for the 100th legislative district was held on 2056, following the April resignation of Republican John Barley, who had been the third highest ranking Republican in the House and Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.^[9] He had first announced his intention to retire in early 2002, only to change his mind in March when he unexpectedly showed up at a local party committee meeting, where he received the Republican Party endorsement.^[9]

Special election for the 2nd legislative district

A special election for the 2nd legislative district was held on August 14, 2001, following the May 2001 death of Italo Cappabianca. The local Democratic committee controversially endorsed Gayle Wright over Cappabianca's widow, Linda.^[10] Cappabianca decided against mounting a formal write-in campaign, citing time constraints, but encouraged voters to write her in as an independent candidate.^[11] Wright won the August 14 contest with 48.2% of the vote, with Cappabianca placing a strong second with 39.1%.^[12]

Special election for the 149th legislative district

A special election for the

Pennsylvania Senate. In that election, Republican Wallis Brooks narrowly defeated Democrat Daylin Leach.^[13] Brooks finished the remainder of Williams' term before losing a re-match to Daylin Leach in the 2002 general election.^[14]

Special election for the 176th legislative district

A special election for the

2000.^[16]

A special election for the

Pennsylvania Senate.^[17] Republican Mike Turzai, an attorney and former member of the Bradford Woods councilman, defeated Democrat Thomas Dancison by a 3-1 margin and captured every precinct in the reliably Republican suburban Pittsburgh district.^[18] This was the second election for Turzai, who unsuccessfully challenged Congressman Ron Klink

in 1998.

Primary elections

In the primary election held on May 21, 2002, four incumbent legislators (two Republicans and two Democrats) lost their party's nomination. In the 19th legislative district, Democratic incumbent William Russell Robinson was defeated by Jake Wheatley, a staffer for Pittsburgh City Councilman Sala Udin, a Robinson rival.^[19]^[20] The Robinson campaign was criticized for a weak effort, finishing the election with cash left over.^[21]

In the

Clerk of Courts David Hickernell.^[20]

Retirements

Four seats left open by Democratic retirements were kept by Democrats, with

Scott A. Petri succeeding Roy Reinard. Long-time Representative Frank Tulli retired shortly after winning the Republican nomination in the May primary. Fellow Republican John Payne took his place on the November ballot, winning easily.^[24]

Three

2000 to run for Pennsylvania Auditor General. Democrat Leo Trich's Washington County-based district, the 47th legislative district, was moved to York County, where it was captured by Republican Keith J. Gillespie.^{[citation needed}

62nd legislative district

In the

public service announcements" for the first time in a decade.^[31] With the 57-43 victory, Reed became the youngest member of the House.^[26]

149th legislative district

In the

Orthodox Jew who lost family in the Holocaust, of being anti-Semitic.^[32] The mailer carried a bold headline of "Anti-Semitism, Neo-Nazism, Holocaust Denial. They are not 'a big joke.'"^[32] The incendiary charges stemmed from Leach's 1999 defense of an in absentia client from Texas who was sued in Allentown, Pennsylvania for comments allegedly made in an Internet chat room.^[32]^[33] Following the dismissal, the plaintiff took to the internet and posted diatribes denouncing Leach and the Texas man as anti-Semites that were unearthed by a Brooks researcher and used in the mailer.^[32] "She had to know I was Jewish, because it had come up in a debate. But since I have a non-Jewish surname, she apparently thought she could get away with this," Leach said.^[32] The campaign immediately convinced a local Jewish newspaper to denounce the mailer and reproduced the article on a flyer with a profile of Leach, emphasizing his Jewish roots and activism, on the reverse.^[32] By election day, 70 volunteers had hand-delivered the literature to most district households.^[32]

Leach won the election by over 1,000 votes.

150th legislative district

In the 150th legislative district, Republican-turned Democrat John A. Lawless was defeated by Republican Jacqueline Crahalla by 62 votes. Both candidates easily won their respective party's nomination in the primary election.^[20] The district was designed to be disadvantageous to Lawless, who had run afoul of the Republican Caucus leadership.^[15] In September, Lawless caused a controversy when he was pulled over for a minor traffic violation by a Lower Providence Township, Pennsylvania police officer. Lawless used vulgar language to berated the officer and threatened the police department with a loss of state funds.^[34] Following the loss, Lawless destroyed many constituent-related documents, rather than surrender them to Crahalla.^[35]
