Pennsylvania’s primary for registered Democrats and Republicans will be held May 17, but Tuesday was the final day for prospective candidates to file their petitions with the state.
Contests of high interest include wide-open races to replace U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, who is not seeking reelection, and a crowded Republican field in the race to succeed Gov. Tom Wolf, who is term-limited. Also on the primary ballot will be races for lieutenant governor and the state’s 17 Congressional districts.
The deadline for filing for the state’s legislative races remains up in the air as the state Supreme Court considers legal challenges to new maps approved by the state’s Legislative Reapportionment Commission.
Below is a list of candidates who filed by the deadline, listed in the order decided by the Pennsylvania State Department. By convention, candidates of the party of the sitting governor are listed first.
Since Pennsylvania is a closed primary state, only registered Democrats can vote for Democrats, and only registered Republicans can vote for Republicans. Third party and unaffiliated voters can only vote on ballot questions.
