Congress, State House Races Set For Media: See Who's Running

MEDIA, PA — With the primaries over, the candidate fields have been set for November's general elections.

Voters in Media will be among millions of Pennsylvanians deciding on a governor and State House representatives this fall. Meanwhile, midterm elections across the nation will shape the U.S. House of Representatives.

Most primaries on Media residents' ballots were uncontested. But the general election, which is Nov. 3, will be a different matter.

Here are the general-election fields in November:

*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.
