Republicans Seize Congressional Seat in Pennsylvania 1950
John F. Saylor, naval veteran who raised the Iwo Jima flag, won the 20th Pennsylvania district special election, reclaiming a Republican seat. Mrs. Robert J. Coffey Sr, widow of a fallen airman, ran a memorial campaign with Truman’s blessing.
