PA-HD22: Siegel's (D) win means a special election will be held for his 22nd House seat
With Democrat Josh Siegel’s win as Lehigh County executive on Nov. 4, his seat in the 22nd House District will be wide open for the 2026 election.
Filling it will require a special election between a Democrat and a Republican to choose who will serve out the remaining year on Siegel’s two-year term.
Then, there will be a May 19 primary race where voters will choose their respective party candidates to serve a full term. In August, candidates unaffiliated with parties can petition to be added to the ballot.
The general election, a midterm when state and federal candidates will be on the ballot, will be held on Nov. 3, 2026.
