*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 the state's congressional district boundaries as part of a gerrymandering ruling. Scanlon was first elected to the seat later that year.

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

PENNSYLVANIA STATE SENATE: 26TH DISTRICT

• Tim Kearney* (D)
• Alfe Goodwin (R)

Of note: Republicans hold a four-seat majority in the State Senate, while Democrats have a one-vote advantage in the House. Both chambers could flip in November's elections.

PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES: 165TH DISTRICT

• Jennifer O'Mara* (D)
• Deirdre McCleary (R)

Of note: O'Mara has held the seat since 2019.
