Anti-woman Republican who won in a landslide is losing his lead

By Oliver Willis - October 12, 2018

Pennsylvania House Speaker Mike Turzai is facing a serious challenge from Emily Skopov.

Democrat Emily Skopov is taking on Pennsylvania House Speaker Mike Turzai (R) and is within 5 percentage points of him according to a poll from GBA Strategies.

Turzai won the race in the 28th House District by over 30 points in 2016, and Trump won by 9 points.

In recent years the district has been trending Democratic. Hillary Clinton received more votes there than President Barack Obama did in 2012, and Trump’s margin of victory was lower than Mitt Romney’s.

In a statement, Skopov said, “This poll shows we can defeat Mike Turzai because voters disagree with his belief that our children have no right to an equal education, and they are sick of his obsession with controlling women’s bodies.”
