Big Races in 2022
Senator
Republican Pat Toomey is retiring and we need to fill the seat.
Are you bothered by the actions of a few Democratic senators obstructing the widely popular Democratic agenda? Winning this Senate race will go a long way in ending those senators ability to block progress, and we need your help to do it!
Get Involved by sending an email to info@haverforddemocrats.com and we will get right back to you with ways you can help elect Democrats this year.
Governor
If Democrats don’t win the Governorship this year, PA could end up looking a lot like Texas.
Josh Shapiro is the Democrat running and is currently unopposed in the primary.
Lieutenant Governor
This candidate will work closely with the Governor and it’s imperative that these two candidates work well together. Your vote in this primary will determine how strong our team will be going into the general election.
US House
Mary Gay Scanlon is up for reelection. She currently doesn’t have a primary challenger but we will let you know if that changes.
Current Major Democratic Candidate Roster
If you want to know more about who is running this year, you can see our roster below. We will keep these rosters updated as the races change.
