Munroe Projected Winner In Tight 144th Race: Unofficial Results

WARMINSTER, PA —State Rep. Brian Munroe held off a challenge as the projected winner for state representative in the 144th Legislative District in Tuesday's general election, according to unofficial results.

With 100 percent of Bucks County's 304 precincts reporting, the Democratic incumbent defeated Republican challenger Daniel McPhillips.

Munroe received 20,310 votes (51.17 percent) to 19,309 votes (48.64) for McPhillips, Bucks County's Register of Deeds.

Voter turnout was 80.3 percent.

All election results from the Bucks County Board of Elections are unofficial.

“I am honored to have the privilege of continuing to represent District 144 for another term in Harrisburg. I pledge to continue my work of funding our police and emergency services, ensuring our schools receive all the resources they need, bringing even more grant money back to HD 144, and protecting reproductive freedom,” Munroe said.

Munroe will soon begin his second term and has promised to continue his work with citizens and legislators of both parties on issues important to Pennsylvanians.

“During this campaign I have had the opportunity to meet and speak with residents all over the district, connecting on our shared interest in making our community safer and stronger. I am grateful for their trust in me to achieve these goals, and grateful that truth and honesty succeeded over lies and division.”

Munroe will continue his work in the PA State House working with Gov. Josh Shapiro to continue pursuing the People’s Priorities - helping to make Pennsylvania a safer, more prosperous, and more equitable place for all.

The race was heated between the two candidates with attacks on who is financially backing McPhillips to questions about Munroe's military discharge.

The 144th Legislative District includes Warminster, Warrington, Ivyland, and part of New Britain Township.
