(Lebanon) — Voters in a south-central Pennsylvania legislative district will pick a new state senator in a special election.
Today’s election pits Lebanon Valley College history professor Michael Schroeder, a Democrat, against Lebanon County District Attorney David Arnold, a Republican.
The winner will replace Mike Folmer, a four-term Republicanwho resigned in September after being arrested on charges of possessing child pornography.
The district leans heavily Republican.
The outcome won’t change the power balance in the 50-seat Senate, since Republicans hold a 27-21 majority, with one independent who caucuses with Republicans.
The Lebanon County-based 48th Senate district also includes portions of Dauphin and York counties.
