There Are Currently Seventeen House Memebers In PA, Eighteen Including Lamb.

Of course there are two senators.

Not a single woman. Am I reading that right? The state doesn't have a single female representing them in congress?

That really is a bit shocking to me. I'm assuming I'm wrong. Out of twenty representatives there isn't one woman.

But politics are still a very male-dominated profession. With time, there will be more female representation.
