Democrat Munroe wins 144th state House district, flipping the seat

By Emily Rizzo Updated Nov. 11, 2022 12:18 pm

Democrat Brian Munroe has won the race for the 144th state House District seat in Bucks County, according to the Associated Press. He declared victory on Wednesday. The AP called the race on Thursday evening.

“With a 400-plus-vote lead and knowing the few outstanding votes that are still out there… there’s really no clear path to make up or to overtake that 400-vote lead,” Munroe said in an interview with WHYY News Wednesday evening.

He unseated Republican incumbent Todd Polinchock and his win could contribute to changing the balance of power in the state House of Representatives.

Democrats have won 101 seats in the state House and need only one more to take the majority for the first time since 2010 (although they’ve already claimed the win).

There was one in Montco - the 151st that was still outstanding and that one seems to have the higher (D) potential as a swing seat.
