Democrat Heather Boyd defeated Republican Katie Ford in the special election for a seat in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on May 16, meaning Democrats will retain their narrow one-seat majority in the state House.

Boyd, a former congressional and state legislative aide who quit her job as a senior adviser to Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Del.) in March to run, beat Ford, a military veteran, school volunteer, and behavioral therapist, by a count of 4,944 to 2,825, according to Politics PA.
