Pennsylvania's new congressional map had its first showing on May 15th, when voters chose the Democratic and Republican nominees for U.S. House of Representatives.

In all, 59 Democrats and 35 Republicans filed to run for the 18 seats; now, the Democrats and Republicans face off in races to represent more than 700,000 residents each.

At least eight women — seven Democrats and one Republican — secured their party's nominations for Congress. Some of the successful primary contenders were first-time candidates.

The map was drawn by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court after it overturned the previous map as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander, saying it favored Republicans in violation of the state constitution. Those court actions sparked a nasty political and legal fight, including attacks on the court as partisan and two requests that the U.S. Supreme Court intervene. The U.S. Supreme Court and a panel of federal judges denied two separate Republican challenges to the map.
