PA-HD32: Allegheny Dems To Pick Candidate To Replace DeLuca
This Sunday, while most western Pennsylvanians will be focused on the Steelers-Ravens game, Allegheny County Democrats will be looking to replace a legend.
The group will meet to select a candidate for a special election to replace the late Anthony DeLuca in the 32nd state House District.
DeLuca, who served in Harrisburg since 1983, passed away on October 9. His name remained on the general election ballot and he was reelected to the seat with more than 85 percent of the vote.
Eight candidates are vying for the nomination during the Sunday afternoon meeting in Oakmont.
- Pauline Calabrese, Penn Hills Mayor
- Nicholas Futules, Allegheny County Council Vice President
- Tracey Holst, Oakmont Borough Council member
- Louis Leon, Penn Hills constable
- Joe McAndrew, Penn Hills Democratic Committee Chair
- Frank Pecora, Penn Hills Deputy Mayor
- Erin Vecchio, Penn Hills School Board President
- Lois Vitti, a lawyer in Oakmont
Carrie DelRosso, Doug Mastriano's running mate, is the lone Republican.

In honor of Tony DeLuca, I predict the winner will be someone of Italian-American heritage.
