United States House of Representatives

The general election was held on November 8. Following the 2020 Census, reapportionment led to Pennsylvania's House delegation shrinking from 18 seats to 17 seats; redistricting determined the new district lines.

Governor and lieutenant governor

Incumbent Democratic governor Tom Wolf was term-limited and was not allowed by law to seek re-election for a third term. Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman was eligible for re-election to a second term, but instead chose to run for the United States Senate to replace retiring Sen. Pat Toomey.

The Democratic ticket of state attorney general Josh Shapiro and State Representative Austin Davis defeated the Republican ticket of State Senator Doug Mastriano and State Representative Carrie DelRosso.
