From https://ballotpedia.org/Summer_Lee: "Summer Lee (Democratic Party) is a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, representing District 34. She assumed office on December 1, 2018. Her current term ends on November 30, 2022.

Lee (Democratic Party) is running for election to the U.S. House to represent Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District. She is on the ballot in the Democratic primary on May 17, 2022.

Lee is also running for re-election to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to represent District 34. She is on the ballot in the Democratic primary on May 17, 2022."

The Republican incumbent in the US Congress retired and this is an open seat. The May 17th Democratic primary has 5 candidates vying for this seat. UPDATE: Summer won both her primaries for the state house and US House. She will now face a Republican challenger. On a very positive note, it appears that redistricting for US House PA CD-12 has greatly improved the outlook for a Democratic win, placing it in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. Progressives should be supporting Summer so that she can insure she has sufficient votes to win the General Election for the US House on November 8th.
