(Beaver County, PA) The vote for the candidate to occupy the position in the 16th House District of Pennsylvania is unlike the other state legislative district elections, in which candidates run for reelection without an opponent. The 16th House district vote has Rob Matzie, the Democratic nominee in Beaver County, against Republican nominee Michael Perich. Matzie has now become chair of the House Consumer Protection, Technology, and Utilities Committee. Matzie continues to assert that his advantage of being there for Beaver County will lead to bring both money and projects there, including the cracker plant. Perich, who was a one-time owner of Zippy’s Bar in Aliquippa, a former steelworker, and a former mailman, is running against Matzie to keep families in Beaver County.
