Democrat Rep. Patty Kim has clinched her party’s nomination for Pennsylvania’s 15th Senate District. In the unofficial primary results, Kim garnered a resounding 87% of the vote, securing a landslide victory. Her opponent, Harrisburg pastor Alvin Q. Taylor, trailed her by more than 13,822 votes in early results.
Kim’s victory sets the stage for a highly anticipated general election matchup against Republican Nick DiFrancesco, who currently serves as Dauphin County Treasurer. DiFrancesco will be seeking to unseat Kim and represent the 15th Senate District in the Pennsylvania General Assembly.
The race for Pennsylvania’s 15th Senate District promises to be closely contested, with both candidates bringing a wealth of experience and a strong base of support. Kim, a former school board member and state representative, has a reputation for being a tireless advocate for her constituents. DiFrancesco, a former county commissioner and mayor, has a proven track record of fiscal responsibility and economic development.
The outcome of the general election will have significant implications for the future of the 15th Senate District. Voters will have the opportunity to choose a candidate who they believe will best represent their interests and work to address the challenges facing their community.
