Wallen fills the seat, which represents parts of Adams and Cumberland counties, that was last held by Rep. Torren Ecker.
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. — Republican Catherine Wallen has won the special election for Pennsylvania’s 193rd District.
Wallen defeated Democratic candidate Todd Crawley for the seat that represents parts of Cumberland and Adams counties.
“Tonight, House Republicans claimed important victories in two open seats, demonstrating the success of our message and the strength of our candidates,” said PA House Republican Leader Jesse Topper (R-Bedford/Fulton).
The special election was held to fill the seat vacated by Rep. Torren Ecker after he was elected to the Adams County Court of Common Pleas in 2025.
Wallen will serve out the rest of Ecker’s term, through the end of 2026, and will be up for re-election in November for a full term.
