The 31st district includes Lower Makefield Township, Newtown Township, Yardley and portions of Morrisville.

Warren, an attorney, has served in office since 2017. He is a former member of Newtown Borough Council, a position he served from 2010 until he was elected to the state legislature. Warren has touted his cooperation with other lawmakers on bipartisan legislation.

"During my two terms as your state representative, I have worked cooperatively with residents, community leaders and representatives of other districts to improve our quality of life," Warren told Patch in October. "I believe my values and interests are reflective of our communities in working to maintain and improve our educational system, our environment and our economy and I have the courage to do the right thing."

Adcock, an automobile and charity auctioneer, has criticized Warren for siding with Gov. Tom Wolf on strict coronavirus lockdown measures.

"He has continually voted against opening our state during the pandemic," Adcock said. "These votes have caused hardships and even bankrupt families and small businesses within our community."

Warren received more than 10,000 votes in the primary election, while Adcock received just under 6,000 votes. Both ran uncontested.
