State Rep. Nick Kotik, D-Robinson, beat Republican challenger Aaron Kime to hold onto his 45th state House District seat.
More than a year ago, Nick Kotik thought his political career was over when Republicans redistricted and moved his state House district to eastern Pennsylvania.

State Rep. Nick Kotik and Maribeth Taylor are competing against each other in the Democratic primary for the 45th House district. The winner will then face Republican Aaron Kime in the general election.
State Rep. Nick Kotik wants to continue pushing back against Gov. Tom Corbett and the Republican-controlled legislature on Marcellus Shale drilling and infrastructure spending. Maribeth Taylor, his primary election opponent in the 45th House district, says the incumbent isn’t doing enough for the area and she wants to restore state funding to schools and area towns. “I just feel personally that the local communities have been ignored by our state level government,” said Taylor, who has been a McKees Rocks councilwoman for the past five years.
