2008 Pennsylvania
Election Results
The message couldn't be clearer: voters wanted progressive change. They elected an outstanding progressive as the next president. They put Democrats solidly in control of the Congress. They elected 86 great Progressive Majority candidates to state and local office. And, in Pennsylvania, we elected six progressives and held our majority in the state House of Representatives - and we may have even increased it!
In Pennsylvania's electoral battlegrounds, Progressive Majority is fighting back against conservative power grabs. And, our efforts paid off again: by electing progressives to the Pennsylvania House, we've built on the slim Democratic majority we helped create in 2006. With each victory, we build the progressive base in Pennsylvania, and we keep conservatives out of office.
