Rohrer pulls ahead in 128th House race

One of the most closely watched Legislative races in Berks County is the contest between state Rep. Sam Rohrer (R-128th Dist.) and Democratic challenger John Woodward, a tavern owner who was well-funded in his bid to unseat Rohrer.

The race was tight when initial reports came in after the polls closed at 8 p.m., but Rohrer is pulling away in the race.

With 50 percent of the precincts reporting, Rohrer has 8,484 votes (52%) to Woodward's 7,843 votes (48%).

Woodward ran a nasty campaign, sending out misleading mailings about Rohrer's record as leader of the movement to eliminate property taxes.
