In the 18th State House district, Harris Martin is the Democratic challenger running against Republican incumbent Gene DiGirolamo, who is seeking an 8th term. This Bucks County area has traditionally been a Republican district. However, Democrats now outnumber Republicans by 3,014 (19,401 to 16,387). In the primary Martin received 7,439 votes to DiGirolamo's 3,439. With heightened interest in the presidential race and a congressional election that could get interesting (Rep. Patrick Murphy, a Democrat and early Obama supporter, hopes to retain the office he won in an upset in 2006), this state house seat may garner more attention that it would otherwise. It's a race to watch.
