PA-AD22: Special election set for Feb. 24 to fill vacant 22nd District seat left by state Rep. Josh Siegel (D)

A special election will be held on Feb. 24 to fill the 22nd District seat vacated by state Rep. Josh Siegel, who resigned Wednesday to transition into his new role as Lehigh County executive.

House Speaker Joanna McClinton, D-Phila., signed writs of election Wednesday to fill vacancies created by the resignations of Siegel and Rep. Dan Miller, D-Allegheny.

Siegel, a Democrat representing parts of Lehigh County, won his bid for county executive in the November general election. Under House rules, the speaker is required to issue a writ of election within 10 days of a vacancy, according to the news release.

The winner of the February contest will serve the remainder of Siegel’s term, which expires Nov. 30, 2026.
