Laura Harding
The field for a Harrisburg-based state House seat has grown again, as an area community activist today announced her entry into the race.
On Tuesday, Laura Harding said that she would run as a Democrat for the open seat for the 103rd legislative district.
A Camp Hill native and Navy veteran, Harding is a long-time Harrisburg resident. She currently serves as the president of the community group, Camp Curtin Neighborhoods United, and is a member of the William Penn High School task force, a 26-member body tasked with offering recommendations for future uses for the shuttered Uptown school building.
With her announcement, Harding joins an increasingly crowded field of candidates for the seat, which is being vacated by long-time Rep. Patty Kim, who is running for the 15th district state Senate seat.
Several other Democrats have previously announced for the 103rd district House seat, including Tina Nixon of Harrisburg, Camp Hill council member Mercedes Evans and Lemoyne council member Jesse Monoski.
The 103rd district represents about half of Harrisburg and the west shore communities of Camp Hill, East Pennsboro Township, Lemoyne and Wormleysburg.
The Pennsylvania primary is currently slated for April 23, and the general election is scheduled for Nov. 5.
