HARRISBURG — In addition to Joe Pittman, who beat Democrat Susan Boser in the 41st Senate district, voters also picked Republicans to fill two other open seats in the state Legislature in heavily Republican districts in south-central and Western Pennsylvania.

Tuesday’s special elections brought no surprises, since all three seats were last held by Republicans. The special elections have no effect on Republican control in both chambers.

In the 33rd Senate district in south central Pennsylvania, Republican Doug Mastriano beat Democrat Sarah Hammond.

In the 11th House district in Butler County, Republican Marci Mustello beat Democrat Sam Doctor.
