Legislative Elections Update:

HD-46: State Representative Jesse White’s campaign accused their Republican opponent Jason Ortitay of lying about Rep. White’s voting record.

According to the White camp, the PA Family Council is distributing direct mail accuses their candidate of voting against S.B. 732 when in fact he voted for it.

“It is shameful for Jason Ortitay to attack my position on such a critical issue,” said Rep. White. “Women’s health is an issue that I take very seriously, and to have my vote on this matter blatantly misrepresented is disrespectful to the voters.”

HD-163: The Delaware Daily Times endorsed Democratic nominee Vince Rongione for the open seat.

“In a very close race between two solid candidates, the Daily Times endorses Vince Rongione for the 163rd state House race,” they wrote.

SD-32: WTAE-TV’s Truth Check found Democratic State Rep. Deb Kula’s attack ad on Republican Pat Stefano “misleading” and “false”.
