Brian Sims has held Philadelphia’s 182nd District House seat since 2012, earning a reputation as a progressive in an area featuring a wide area of Center City. This year in the primary he will face Democratic candidates Louis Lanni, Marni Snyder and Ben Waxman.
On Saturday, Sims’ camp sent a fundraising email to his supporters addressed from him in which he said, "I never expected to have this big of a target on my back. The right-wing extremists are trying to take this seat so they can push their anti-choice and anti-equality agenda through our State House."
Though Sims has competition from Democrats in the primary, he does not have any from Republicans. No Republicans are on the ballot, according to the City Commissioners Office. And because no candidates are running as Republicans in the primary, no candidates can run as Republicans in the general election.

As a Pennsylvanian, I really wish that we could cut Philadelphia and Pittsburgh loose from the rest of the state.
They can be downright embarrassing most of the time.

I think Reading is worse than Philly, pretty sure the just elected mayor is pro drug dealer.

Right Wing Democrats in Philadelphia?
That's like saying there are Republicans in Chicago politics.
