A Democratic lawmaker from Pittsburgh resigned Wednesday from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives<\/a>, moving the razor-thin majority her party has held this year to a partisan tie with the Legislature mired in a budget stalemate.<\/p>\n

Democratic Speaker Joanna McClinton immediately scheduled a special election for Rep. Sara Innamorato’s Allegheny County seat for Sept. 19, a week before the House is expected to return to session.<\/p>\n

In November, Democrats flipped the number of districts needed to control the House at the start of the session. It was their first claim to the majority in 12 years, with a 102-101 margin they have since maintained through several special elections.<\/p>\n

KEY ISSUES AHEAD OF PENNSYLVANIA’S GOP PRIMARY INCLUDE ELECTION INTEGRITY, MAIL-IN VOTING LAW<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

With Innamorato’s resignation, the partisan breakdown now sits at 101-101.<\/p>\n

A text message seeking comment was left for Innamorato.<\/p>\n

House Republican spokesman Jason Gottesman described her resignation as an effort by Democrats to “gerrymander the membership of the House” to maintain their power. He said it would have a significant impact on resolving the budget negotiations.<\/p>\n

Democrats have used their newfound power this year to advance a number of the caucus\u2019 priorities, from gun control efforts to broader protections for LGBTQ+ people. But the Legislature remains politically divided, with a firm Republican majority in the Senate.<\/p>\n

Her departure makes it more difficult for Democrats to advance measures on party-line votes.<\/p>\n

PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE SETS MAY SPECIAL ELECTION DATE FOR VACANT GOP SEAT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The philosophical divide in the Legislature<\/a> turned especially unyielding this month; the state government has gone for weeks without full spending authority due to a battle over education funding that has soured budget negotiations. The stalemate could persist until the chambers return to business after Labor Day.<\/p>\n

Innamorato is running to serve as the Allegheny\u2019s county executive. She won a contested Democratic primary for the race in May, as part of a progressive slate in local elections. She\u2019ll face the lone Republican primary contender, Joseph Rockey, in the November general election.<\/p>\n

Another Democratic Rep. John Galloway, of Bucks County<\/a>, is running for district judge, meaning the Democrats will face another race with the majority at stake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
