One of Pennsylvaniaâs two U.S. Senate seats is up for grabs in 2022 as two-term Republican incumbent Pat Toomey prepares to step aside and the state braces for a particularly high-stakes election year.
The Senate opening has drawn plenty of interest from Democrats looking to shore up a narrow congressional majority, Republicans looking to limit key aspects of the Biden agenda, and observers believing the seat is likely to flip or too close to call. The race will be exceedingly expensive either way.

By MARC NARDUCCI | The Philadelphia Inquirer | Published: April 9, 2021 PHILADELPHIA (Tribune News Service) James Cowboy Johnson was running errands in his Norristown neighborhood on March 15 when he was stopped in his tracks on Swede Street, where he lives.

He quickly realized that it was emanating from a three-story duplex home, which has an apartment on the first floor and another on the second and third floors. Johnson, 70, a four-year Marine veteran, credits his military instincts for what sent him dashing toward the blazing building.

âLet s look at the numbers, and letâs not look away, and let s talk about them. It is very ironic to me that racially conscious policies got us into this mess, but nobody wants to talk about race getting us out of this mess,â said Norristown Police Chief Mark Talbot. âWe want it to be race neutral now that weâre trying to fix it, well it wasnât race neutral to get us here. Thatâs not the path out.
