Pennsylvania residents are gearing up to vote for their representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives, with competitive races in five of the state’s 17 congressional districts. A key issue in many races is abortion access, with candidates espousing differing views on the matter.
In the 1st Congressional District, incumbent Brian Fitzpatrick faces Democratic challenger Ashley Ehasz. Fitzpatrick, a moderate Republican, is favored to win, but Ehasz’s military background and public service sector experience make her a formidable opponent.
In the 7th Congressional District, Democrat Susan Wild is facing Republican Ryan Mackenzie in a toss-up race. Abortion rights, the economy, and immigration are key issues in this district, where Republicans hope to pick up a swing seat.
In the 10th Congressional District, incumbent Republican Scott Perry is being challenged by Democrat Janelle Stelson. Perry’s involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election has drawn scrutiny, while Stelson’s residency outside the district has been a point of contention.
Overall, Pennsylvania’s congressional races are heating up as candidates vie for the opportunity to represent their constituents in Washington, D.C. Voters will have the chance to weigh in on these and other important issues in the upcoming elections.
