A Big Law attorney and a partner from a Pennsylvania litigation defense firm are among those whose victories marked a strong showing for attorneys—many of them women—who were elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in Tuesday’s midterm election.

Out of 18 contested congressional seats, Pennsylvania voters elected seven attorneys to represent them in Washington. Two of the most closely watched races ended up favoring attorneys, with the head of Ballard Spahr’s pro bono efforts being elected in one race and a partner from a Lehigh Valley firm, Gross McGinley, winning a seat in the other.
