There is no U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania will elect 17 members to its U.S. House delegation. 

Four women U.S. House incumbents, all Democrats, are running for reelection in Pennsylvania: Madeleine Dean (PA-4), Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-5), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-6), and Summer Lee (PA-12). The average raised by these Democratic women seeking reelection is lower than the average raised by the Democratic men seeking reelection to the U.S. House. Representative Lee became the first Black woman to represent the state in Congress when she won her seat in 2022; all the remaining women congressional candidates from Pennsylvania are white. Representative Lee has raised the most of the women incumbent candidates, and she also has the highest proportion of funds from small contributions of the group. No Republican women serve in the Pennsylvania congressional delegation. Representative Scott Perry (PA-10), a Republican, leads incumbent candidates in fundraising with over $3M.

According to The Cook Political Report, three seats are competitive: PA-7, PA-8, and PA-10. All are considered “Toss Ups.” Democrat Janelle Stelson (PA-10), who is white, is challenging Republican Representative Scott Perry. Stelson has raised the most of the challenger candidates with nearly $4.9M; 22% of her funds take the form of small contributions. Perry has raised over $3M. 

Democrat Paige Cognetti (PA-8), who is white, has raised over $3.8M compared with nearly $1.9M for Representative Rob Bresnahan (R). Only 16% of Cognetti’s funds come from small contributions compared with 32% for Bresnahan.

Democratic women running as challengers in Pennsylvania have a higher average total raised than Democratic men. Meanwhile, Republican men running as challengers have a higher average proportion of funds from self-financing than Democratic challenger candidates.
