Special 140th Legislative Election: What You Need To Know
LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —A new state representative of the 140th Legislative District will be chosen as voters in four Lower Bucks County communities go to the polls Tuesday.
But then on Friday, State Rep. Joe Adams (R-Pike/Wayne) announced that he is resigning from his position representing the 139th District in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. There will be a special election for his seat sometime in the future.
That means that Democrats once again hold control of the House, 101-100. A Republican victory would once again split the House.
Who are the Candidates?
Cabanas was nominated by the Bucks County Republican Party in December to run for the seat. She stated that she would help families make ends meet, support law enforcement efforts, fight rising healthcare costs, and provide quality education to children.
Prokopiak was selected as the Bucks County Democratic Party nominee.
“The people of Lower Bucks County need a voice in Harrisburg who is willing to fight for them,” Prokopiak told Patch after his announcement in December. “For too many people, the American dream is drifting further away — housing and healthcare are too expensive, and many jobs don’t provide for those basic needs. Our schools are not properly funded, and college and technical training are too expensive.”

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pennsylvania State Police Troopers are investigating a burglary in Indiana County where more than $500,000 in cash was recently stolen from a safe inside a home.
State Police from the Punxsutawney barracks say their Troopers are investigating the burglary that happened in the morning hours of New Year’s Eve last week in Canoe Township.
Troopers say a gun safe inside a home was burglarized and a firearm along with stacks of $100 bills worth more than $500,000 were taken.
The stacks of $100 bills were said to be stapled together and State Police provided a photo showing what the bills would look like once unstapled.
Anyone with information about the burglary or the stolen money is asked to call the State Police barracks or the State Police tip line and can also submit information online.
State Police say a cash reward could be provided for information that leads to an arrest.
