On the night of the Democratic Party primary, the vote count held no surprises.
Representative John Murphy defeated his challenger, Alex Cortes, by a massive margin of over thirty percentage points, successfully securing the Democratic Party's official nomination.
In the upcoming midterm election, he would represent the Democratic Party against his Republican Party opponent.
And in this deep-blue district, winning the primary was tantamount to winning the general election.
To celebrate this hard-won victory, Representative Murphy held a grand victory banquet in the ballroom of a luxury hotel in Pittsburgh City Center.
Leo, Sarah, Frank, and a few other core members of the community center were invited to attend as "key figures who helped Representative Murphy win the election."
Frank, dressed in a suit, looked completely uncomfortable.
He kept tugging at the tie that felt like it was suffocating him.
