Lennen challenging Vogel for 47th district seat in state Senate

Elder Vogel

A Beaver County attorney is facing off against longtime incumbent Elder Vogel Jr. to represent the 47th district in the state Senate.

Democrat Kate Lennen, of Economy, is challenging Vogel, a Republican seeking his fifth term in office.

A widowed mother of four adult children, Lennen said she practiced family law for many years before changing to general practice. She said she went on leave from work before the primary to focus on her campaign.

She said she believes education funding, railroad safety and reproductive freedom are the top issues in the election.
