2022 Pennsylvania House of Representatives election

The 2022 elections for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives were held on , with all districts currently being decided. The term of office for those elected in 2022 began when the House of Representatives convened in January 2023. Pennsylvania State Representatives are elected for two-year terms, with all 203 seats up for election every two years.Wikisource:Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 1874/Article 2

In what was described as a "shocking upset", Democrats gained 12 seats, giving them a majority of 102 out of 203 seats and winning control of the chamber for the first time since 2010, despite losing the popular vote (although this was partly because there were many uncontested Republican districts). This defied many analysts’ predictions, including that of Sabato's Crystal Ball, which had rated House control as "Likely Republican".
