Policy positions and campaign money

No documented policy positions are on file for any candidate in the race. That means the candidates cannot yet be compared through official records on specific subjects or proposals. Their party affiliations should not be treated as substitutes for individual positions.

Fundraising, spending and cash-on-hand totals are also not on file for any of the 10 candidates. Those three categories track different parts of campaign finance: money raised, money spent and money remaining. No dollar amounts are listed for this race.

Election timeline

The general election is set for Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. The candidate field, documented positions and campaign finance filings are the main process updates to follow before Election Day.

Voters can also watch for any changes to candidate listings as the election approaches. The current field makes PA-7 a contested race, with multiple candidates seeking the same U.S. House seat.
