This was the first Pennsylvania State Senate election held after the constitutionally-mandated [Pennsylvania Constitution Article II, Section 17] decennial reapportionment plan. [ [http://www.dos.state.pa.us/elections/cwp/view.asp?a=1311&q=447044 elections: 2001 Reapportionment Plans ] ] [http://www.dos.state.pa.us/elections/lib/elections/060_reapportionment_plans/state_senate_districts.pdf]

Rafferty, Jr. succeeded Republican Senator James W. Gerlach, who successfully ran for Pennsylvania's 6th congressional district. Jim Ferlo, a veteran member of Pittsburgh's City Council, succeeded the retiring Democratic senator Leonard J. Bodack. [cite web
