Pennsylvania’s two open races for a U.S. Senate seat and the governor’s office in 2022 puts the state in the spotlight once again as the midterm elections will decide control of Congress.
Josh Shapiro (Democrat): The second-term state attorney general who lives in Abington Township, just outside Philadelphia, is the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party. He currently faces no big-name challenge in the May 17 primary for his party's nomination to run in the November general election against the Republican nominee.
A governor's term in Pennsylvania is four years. The elected position is term-limited. A person can only be governor for two terms in a row.
There has been very few polls done on the race so far through Jan. 19. Three of the largest national organizations that rate the competitiveness of statewide elections have rated the governor's race as a " toss-up ," meaning it remains anyone's race to win.
The last day to register to vote before the May 17 primary is May 2. To vote for specific candidates of a party, you must register as a member of that party. However, independent voters can still vote on ballot questions, of which there are expected to be many this year.
The primary election in Pennsylvania is May 17. The general election is Nov. 8.
