A special election in Pittsburgh suburbs could hold early clues for 2020.

Campaign signs for Democrat Pam Iovino and Republican D. Raja line the streets in Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania on March 30, 2019.Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.MT. LEBANON, Pa.

The seat has flipped back and forth among Democrats and Republicans over the years, held most recently by Guy Reschenthaler, a Republican who resigned after being elected to Congress in November. Trump won the district by six points in 2016 but it swung left in the 2018 midterms, voting to handily re-elect Sen. Bob Casey and Gov. Tom Wolf, both Democrats, over Republicans who backed Trump’s agenda.

“Pam Iovino is not a Conor Lamb. Her policies are very, very different than Conor Lamb,” said Raja, pointing to guns and abortion. Lamb, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps, opposed new restrictions on owning guns and voiced personal opposition to abortion during the campaign, though he didn’t support overturning Roe vs. Wade.

Democrats gained a net of three U.S. House seats in Pennsylvania in 2018, bringing the state’s congressional delegation to an even 9-9 split, and narrowed their gap with Republicans in the state General Assembly. At the Galleria mall in Mt. Lebanon, Kristy Nolen said her disgust with what Trump and Republicans were doing nationally did weigh on her decision in the special election. Nolen, 47, a comedy theater manager, said she planned to vote Tuesday for Iovino.
