Latest revision as of 01:33, 28 February 2022

The Pennsylvania Primary 2022 is on May 17, 2022, with early voting beginning beforehand.

There are 203 members of the House, and 50 members of the Senate. The terms are 2 years in the House and 4 years in the Senate, without any term limits. The salary is $90,335 per year, plus a generous per diem reimbursement. Only half of the Senate seats are up for election in any year, as even-numbered and odd-numbered seats are elected in different years.

As of February 24, Donald Trump had not yet endorsed any current Republican candidates in Pennsylvania. (His only endorsement was of Sean Parnell, who withdrew from the US Senate race.)

Process

The Process for becoming a candidate for the PA State legislature is:

The candidate must file a nomination petition. For the Senate, there must be 500 signatures of voters, and for the PA House, the signatures of 300. The County Board of Elections can provide the petition to you. There is a somewhat different petition for those who become candidates as a result of their party selecting them.

The filing fee for both Senate and House is $100.

An Affidavit must be filed with the candidate's address, election district, name of office sought, statement verifying eligibility to run for the office, and a statement that the candidate "will not knowingly violate" the election laws.

There must also be a statement of financial interests.

This process is governed by under the PA election Code, Article 9 part (a).

House

There are 107 Republicans in the Pennsylvania House, out of 203 total. That Republican majority should have enacted strong conservative legislation, but failed to.

The Republican incumbents and their challengers are:
