The win is really surprising considering that Murphy, the Republican who resigned in disgace, won in 2012 64% to 36%. The defeat was so bad the Democrats did not run a candidate in 2014 and 2016.

The 18th district has been elimnated effective with the November 2018 election by the PA Supreme Court as it deemed it to be so biased toward the Reublican candidates. That is why the defeat is rather astonishing.

Lamb was smart to run a local race. Here is his position on taxes and  abortion

Taxes: He called the GOP tax bill a "giveaway" to wealthy Americans and said he supports cuts for the middle class. "We didn't need to add a penny to our debt to have the tax cut for our working and middle-class people," Lamb said in a debate.

Abortion: Lamb, a Catholic,  personally opposes abortion but backs the Supreme Court's decision legalizing it. "Once you make something a right, it's a right. And it's like that for a reason," he told HuffPost. Lamb told the Weekly Standard he doesn't support a ban on abortion at 20 weeks.
