2 seek GOP nod in 147th House Dist. primary race
​
The decision by Republican state Rep. Marcy Toepel not to seek another term representing the 147th House District has resulted in a primary election contest on June 2.
Annamarie Scannapieco, a registered nurse from New Hanover, and Tracy Pennycuick, a retired military helicopter pilot from Lower Salford, are both seeking the Republican nomination.
The winner of the primary election will face Democrat Jill Dennin, a Boyertown School Board member who is unopposed in the primary.
