In November, Parnell lost his bid for the 17th Congressional District seat to Lamb, in a closer-than-expected race. Lamb won 51% to 49% in the district that includes most of Allegheny County, all of Beaver County and a sliver of Butler County.
President Joe Biden beat Trump 51% to 48% in the district, but received nearly 60% of the vote in Allegheny County.
Parnell joined with several other Republicans, including U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Butler County, in a failed attempt to have more than 2.5 million mail-in ballots thrown out and have the Republican-controlled state Legislature select a new slate of Electoral College voters.
Prior to that, Parnell and Luke Negron, another Pittsburgh-area GOP Congressional candidate, filed a federal lawsuit in October over the ballot handling process in Allegheny County.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A judge has temporarily blocked an Ohio ban on the use of telemedicine for medication abortions as a suit challenging the law s constitutionality proceeds.
The two-week restraining order was granted by a Hamilton County judge late Tuesday in a case brought last week by Planned Parenthood against the Ohio Department of Health, the state Medical Board and prosecutors in the state’s three largest counties.
It was the second Ohio abortion law Common Pleas Judge Alison Hatheway has blocked this week. She delayed enforcement Monday of another law that would require fetal remains from surgical abortions to be cremated or buried, agreeing with a group of clinics that had sued that a lack of rules made complying unworkable.
