Democrat Jim Prokopiak won the special election on Feb. 13 to represent the 140th District in the state House of Representatives by a 67-32 margin. He will serve the final year of the term of former Rep. John Galloway, who resigned to become a magisterial district judge. Prokopiak, a lawyer and Pennsbury School Board member, previously served as a Falls Township supervisor. The 140th District includes 33 voting precincts across Morrisville Borough, Tullytown Borough, Falls Township and some of Middletown Township. Prokopiak received 6,462 votes, compared to 3,079 votes for Republican Candace Cabanas, according to unofficial results. The election marks the fourth time Democrats have defended their 102-101 majority since taking control of the state House in 2023.
