ALLENTOWN, Pa. — State Rep. Milou Mackenzie won re-election to a third term representing the 131st House District, according to incomplete and unofficial results Tuesday.
Republican Mackenzie defeated newcomer Meriam Sabih, who had campaigned on prioritizing education and advocating for Pennsylvanians and their families.
“In addition to her concerns about education and holding the line on wasteful spending, Mackenzie also focuses on how she can help her fellow small business owners and bring support to our veterans."
