Republican voters in the 11th District will choose between two candidates for the state House of Representatives in the primary election May 17.

They are incumbent Marci Mustello of Butler Township and political newcomer Jennifer Steele of Summit Township. No Democrats filed to run in the district, which means the victor of the primary will run unopposed in the general election, although write-in campaigns are possible.

After the 2022 redistricting of state legislature boundaries, the 11th District consists of Butler City; the townships of Buffalo, Butler, Clearfield, Clinton, Donegal, Jefferson, Oakland, Summit and Winfield; and the boroughs of Chicora, East Butler and Saxonburg.

New to the district are Buffalo, Clinton and Winfield townships.

Some municipalities have moved to other restructured districts, including Connoquenessing and Fairview townships, as well as Connoquenessing, Fairview, Karns City, Petrolia and Prospect boroughs.
