Knowles vs. Mackey for 124th state House seat

We now know the candidates for the vacant seat to represent the 124th state House District in the Pennsylvania Legislature.

For the Democrats, it's Bill Mackey, who has lost two previous bids to unseat Rep. Dave Argall, who held the 124th District seat for the past 24 years.

Argall won a special election to the state Senate earlier this month, leaving the 124th House District in Berks and Schuylkill counties open.

The Republican candidate will be Jerry Knowles, a former legislative aide to Argall.

The special election for the two-year term in the Legislature will be held May 19, the same day as the primary election in Pennsylvania.
