*denotes incumbent

GOVERNOR, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

• Josh Shapiro*, Austin Davis* (Democratic Party)
• Stacy Garrity, Jason Richey (Republican Party)

Of note: Richey defeated John Ventre in the Republican primary for lieutenant governor. Both governor races, and the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor, were uncontested.

U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES: PENNSYLVANIA'S 5TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

• Mary Gay Scanlon* (D)
• Nick Manganaro (R)

Of note: The district's electorate became more liberal in 2018, when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court redrew congressional district boundaries in a gerrymandering ruling. That year, Scanlon became PA-5's first elected Democrat since the Nixon administration.

Republicans have held majorities in the House and Senate throughout President Donald Trump's second term.

PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, 166TH DISTRICT

• Judy Trombetta (D)
• Joe Walker (R)

Of note: This district will have its first new face since 1993 after Trombetta — president of Haverford's Board of Commissioners — defeated longtime State Rep. Greg Vitali in the Democratic primary.

Trombetta will face Republican Joe Walker, an insurance broker.

The Democratic Party holds the majority in the State House of Representatives, while the GOP controls the State Senate.
