Democrat Josh Shapiro tests political muscle in swing-state Pennsylvania’s midterms

Shapiro has donated more than $900,000 this cycle as Democrats seek to flip four Republican-held House seats and win control of the state legislature.

  • Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is aggressively campaigning to flip four Republican-held U.S. House seats while funneling $925,000 into Democratic Party accounts this cycle to secure legislative control.
  • To rebuild the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, Shapiro recruited a hand-picked state chair and is on track to break his own fundraising record, elevating preferred candidates in competitive primaries.
  • Despite criticism over Bob Brooks's past social media posts, Shapiro endorsed the union leader, saying Brooks has "always had my back" and remains focused on electing "good people."
  • Republican State Treasurer Stacy Garrity accused Shapiro of prioritizing a 2028 presidential bid over state needs, saying "he's more interested in Pennsylvania Avenue than helping Pennsylvania families."
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson has also targeted Pennsylvania's competitive districts, emphasizing their importance to determining control of the U.S. House in the midterm elections.
