Perry Warren Wins State Rep Seat
The race between two Newtown officials came to a close finish.
Democrat Perry Warren is moving up from municipal government work to state government work after voters chose him to fill the seat vacated Steve Santarsiero in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives District 31
Warren defeated his opponent Republican Newtown Township Supervisor Ryan Gallagher by a razor-thin margin: 18,982 votes to 18,954 votes.
Warren has served as a Newtown Borough Councilman since 2009 and plans to use his experience to help end "gridlock in Harrisburg" through bipartisan means.
