Talk:Pennsylvania House of Representatives, District 34

Thomas M. Nolan
There is some confusion about whether Thomas M. Nolan represented this district from 1969-1970. According to the Wilkes University Election Statistics Project here, he represented this district from 1969 until his death in November 30, 1970. This cannot be correct, because we know for sure that Thomas M. Nolan was a State Senator from 1971 – 1978. There are a few possibilities: 1) Nolan did represent the 34th district in the House and then was elected to the Senate, possible resigning on November 30, instead of dying on that day 2) Another person named Thomas M. Nolan represented the 34th district, possibly the senator's father 3) the name itself is a typo and someone else represented the 34th and died on that day 4) or a combination of all 3. For now, I have removed any mention of Nolan from this list until we have further data. --Blargh29 (talk) 14:58, 15 December 2009 (UTC)


 * According to the SSDI, no Thomas Nolan died in November 1970. I think him resigning instead of dying makes the most sense. I'll check the Pennsylvania Manual sometime to confirm it. ​​​​​​ ​​ Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 04:37, 16 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I compared the bio of the Thomas M. Molan Nolan in the PA House and the bio of the Thomas M. Nolan in the PA Senate, and they are nearly identical. ​​​​​​ ​​ Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 18:23, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I'm confused. Is that a typo for "Molan?" Also, where did you find those biographies? Thanks--Blargh29 (talk) 04:34, 17 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Normally, I'm good at typing, but that was on typo on my part. The biographies are in the Pennsylvania Manual. ​​​​​​ ​​ Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 13:59, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
