In a surprise announcement, Allegheny County Councilman Tom Duerr has declared his intention to challenge Republican state senator Devlin Robinson in the upcoming election. The district in question is located in Pittsburgh's southern suburbs and is considered a swing district. Duerr made the announcement on Twitter, saying that he was “excited to take on this challenge and bring new ideas and energy to the district”. He also stated that he would be running on a platform of fiscal responsibility, environmental protection, and education reform. Robinson has been serving as state senator since 2017 and has been a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump’s policies throughout his tenure. He has also been criticized for his stances on gun control, abortion rights, and LGBT rights. The race between Duerr and Robinson is expected to be close due to the nature of the swing district. Both candidates have strong support from their respective parties but will need to reach out beyond their base if they want to win over undecided voters. Duerr is already gaining momentum with his campaign launch event drawing large crowds from both sides of the aisle. His supporters are hopeful that he can bring change to an area that desperately needs it while Robinson’s supporters are confident that he will continue fighting for conservative values in Pennsylvania politics. The race between Duerr and Robinson promises to be one of the most closely watched races in Pennsylvania next year as both candidates battle it out for control of this important swing district. It remains unclear who will come out ahead but one thing is certain: Allegheny County residents will have an important decision ahead when they go to the polls next year.
