State Sen. Wayne Langerholc Jr. and challenger Shaun Dougherty will pass through the primary process on Tuesday, heading to what could be one of this year’s most high-profile Pennsylvania state Senate races during the general election.
Langerholc, a Richland Township resident, swung the 35th District seat to the Republicans in 2016 after it had been held by Democrat Sen. John Wozniak since 1997. So the GOP is expected to make a strong effort to retain the seat.
Meanwhile, Dougherty, a Democrat, is an internationally known advocate for victims of child sexual abuse, who has even met with prominent Vatican leaders about the issue.
