There's lots of good info here: https://www.politicspa.com/analysis-what-james-malones-special-election-victory-means/141065/

Talks about how Miller, the current state house rep is a Trump today. Parsons, the R candidate, and current Lancaster county commissioner is only slightly less reactionary. Malone says he got out, talked to people and found, essentially, they are tired of the chaos and crazy partisanship. Seems they just want government to work.

At the end there are opinions from top PA pollsters with their thoughts on what Malone's win means. The consensus is not to read too much in special election results, but also to monitor what happens in other upcoming elections.

Whole article is worth the read.
