During the 2022 election, Democrats were actually able to pick up a 2nd state House seat (associated with Lancaster city) and that helped us to flip the chamber to (D) for the first time in a dozen years. The redistricting certainly helped -

(2022 PA state House redistricting)

(2022 PA state Senate redistricting)

(Democrats picked up the PA-36 seat in Lancaster County)

I.e., there is a spillover from neighboring (to the east) Chester County, which itself has slowly gone from purple to light blue and is now helping to make Lancaster County pinkish (of course Lancaster County is still very rural). That trend may have really factored into the pick up of a state Senate seat there (and obviously proximity to Lancaster City).

And let me just add that the guy who is being replaced - Ryan Aument (who resigned to work with carpet-bagger McCormick) - was a nasty FUCKING LOON.
