Democrat Paige Cognetti secured a victory on Tuesday, becoming the first elected official from the U.S. House to represent Pennsylvania's 8th Congressional District. She defeated her Republican counterpart, Rob Bresnahan. Cognetti serves as the mayor of Scranton. During her campaign, she positioned herself as an independent-thinking Democrat and a dedicated advocate for combating corruption within city government.
