Very little changes to the district. This is one of the few districts in Allegheny County that gained population so they had to eliminate some population from the old district. Richland Township has been moved out of the 28th and all of Franklin Park has been added to the 28th. This keeps the political make up of the district extremely similar if not a little better for a Republican candidate.
Incumbent: Mike Turzai (Republican, Majority Leader of the State House, possible candidate for Congress)
Possible challengers: Sharon Brown (Democrat ran in 2010)
I don't believe there is anyone that could beat Mike Turzai this year, no matter how much money or time they spent on this race.

We don't like you liberals up here. Go back to your screwed up Democraticly run city.
Mike Turzai has become a career politician and I will be circulating petition ag. Mike Turzai. I am a Republican, previously a Rep State Comm Member, and prior McCandless Comm member and currently Republican Treasurer for Allegheny County. Please contact me if you are interested in circulating a petition. 412-519-2586
To continue from my previous comment, my name is Karen Shaheen and I am very knowledgeable on the politics of the Northern Region of Allegheny County, as well as, what needs to happen and what is not happening with our leadership. Example: False marketing of School Voucher Bill and Privatization of Liquor Stores...
Turzai who was originally a democrat switched to being a republican to get elected. His biggest donor is the school unions. He needs to be primaried.
Turzai was a Democrat? When? I wouldn't argue with you that he is a career politician. He ran for Congress in 1998 and thought he should be appointed to run for the State Senate in 2001 and he tried to run for Lt. Governor in 2006. Mr. Shaheen, are you planning on running against Turzai yourself?
