If Democrats sweep all three districts, which they also won in November, it will give them a 102-101 majority and will be the first time in 12 years that Republicans have not been able to determine what gets voted on.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — On the last day for candidates to file, Tuesday, it’s clear those vying for a seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court or a term as Philadelphia’s mayor will face contested races in the primaries. Both Republicans and Democrats have contested primaries for a seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, while a crowded field of Democrats vying to be mayor of Philadelphia has also emerged. At least 10 candidates are competing to succeed term-limited Mayor Jim Kenney, a majority of which resigned from city council positions for the race. Candidates for Pennsylvania positions up for election can file their paperwork through 5 p.m. Tuesday.
