Wolf Defeats Corbett, MacArthur Wins NJ U.S. House Seat, Boyle Wins U.S. Congressional Seat

Gov. Tom Corbett says he called Democratic Gov.-elect Tom Wolf to concede defeat and congratulated him on a well-fought fight for Pennsylvania's highest office. Appearing at a post-election gathering at a Pittsburgh hotel Tuesday night, the Republican governor thanked his supporters and said heâ€™s proud his administration cut waste in the state government, reduced state spending for the first time in 40 years and put the stateâ€™s economy on the right track. Wolfâ€™s victory makes Corbett the first governor to be denied a second term in the 40 years that governors have been allowed to serve two terms.

Republican Tom MacArthur has won New Jerseyâ€™s most closely watched and expensive U.S. House race, defeating Democrat Aimee Belgard. The 3rd District seat was open as Republican Jon Runyan decided not to seek re-election after serving two terms. National Democratic groups saw the race in a district stretching from the Philadelphia suburbs to the shore as one of their partyâ€™s best chances nationwide to pick up a House seat held by a Republican. MacArthur is the former mayor of the northern New Jersey town of Randolph. Belgard is a Burlington County freeholder.

Democrat Brendan Boyle has defeated Republican Carson Dee Adcock for an open congressional seat in suburban Philadelphia. The three-term state representative from Philadelphia topped the Montgomery County businessman on Tuesday night for the seat in Pennsylvaniaâ€™s 13th Congressional District. The seat was vacated by five-term U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz, who made an unsuccessful bid for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Boyle won the nomination for Schwartzâ€™s seat in a four-way Democratic primary.
