Democratic Rep. Chris Deluzio won reelection to the U.S. House in Pennsylvania’s 17th Congressional District on Tuesday, defeating his Republican challenger and securing another term in Congress.
The victory keeps the Pittsburgh-area congressional seat in Democratic hands and extends Deluzio’s tenure representing Beaver County and portions of Allegheny County. First elected in 2022, Deluzio will return to Washington for a third term following another closely watched election in western Pennsylvania.
Deluzio faced Republican Tony Guy, Beaver County’s sheriff, in the November 3 election. Guy sought to unseat the two-term Democrat in a race that received less attention than Pennsylvania’s more competitive congressional contests. Following his victory, Deluzio delivered a speech criticizing President Donald Trump and his administration, telling supporters that voters had sent a message to Trump and wealthy political interests. The result keeps Pennsylvania’s 17th District in Democratic hands.
