The 2006 elections for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives were held on November 7, 2006, with all districts being contested.[1] Necessary primary elections were held on May 16, 2006.[2] Members elected in 2006 were inaugurated on January 2, 2007.[3] State Representatives are elected for two-year terms, with the entire House of Representatives up for a vote every two years.
While initial results of the elections showed the Republicans holding onto a one-seat majority in the state house, the race in the 156th district in Chester County had only 19 votes separating the candidates. A further count of provisional ballots and absentee ballots gave the Democrats a victory in the 156th district by 23 votes. A recount proved decisive in the Democrats' favor with the margin increasing to 28 votes.[4] This turned control of the state house to the Democrats for the first time since 1994.
As a further note, the pay raise scandal claimed one more high-level victim as Rep. Mike Veon, the Democratic Whip, was defeated for re-election.
