Incoming Lower Bucks Co. State Rep. Discusses Election Victory

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Democrat Kristin Egan is discussing how she rode the Blue Wave in her victory over incumbent GOP State Rep. Joe Hogan in Tuesday's general election.

"I am honored to accept the privilege of becoming the next state representative for the 142nd House District," said the Neshaminy school director who has worked as a Bucks County teacher for over 20 years. "Throughout my life, I have stepped up to represent students, educators, working families, senior citizens, and the community at large. I will continue that commitment in Harrisburg and work every day to ensure our residents' voices are heard."

Egan received 15,733 votes to Hogan's 13,968 votes Tuesday as Democrats won key races in Bucks County, knocking off Republicans for Congress, the PA Senate and several State Rep. seats.

Results are unofficial until certified by the Bucks County Board of Elections.

"This is an incredible honor and a historical moment for our district. I am deeply moved to take the oath of office as the first woman to represent the 142nd district in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, and I will never lose sight of the responsibility that comes with it," she said.

Egan said she would make herself accessible to constituents, listen to their concerns, show up in the district's communities, seek out perspectives different from her own, and work collaboratively to address issues that impact residents' everyday lives.

She thanked Hogan for his service over the past four years.

"I am especially grateful to my family, who stepped up in ways they never imagined, making sacrifices and embracing this journey because they believe that the perspective of a mother, a wife, and an educator deserves a seat at the table."

The 18th Legislative District includes Langhorne Borough, Langhorne Manor Borough, Lower Southampton Township, half of Middletown Township, portions of Northampton Township, and Penndel Borough.
