PA-01, PA-07, PA-08, PA-10: Democrats Make Pennsylvania Midterm's Ground Zero

House Democrats are making an aggressive play in their push for the majority, targeting key Pennsylvania seats with early investments and recruiting former members to help.

Democrats are hoping to flip four seats in the Keystone State now held by GOP Reps. Rob Bresnahan, Ryan Mackenzie, Scott Perry and Brian Fitzpatrick.

Democrats are only three seats away from the House majority and headed into a midterm cycle that historically favors the minority party. Winning big in Pennsylvania could put them back in power.

The playbook: Former Democratic Reps. Matt Cartwright and Susan Wild are working behind the scenes to help win their old districts, according to several members of the state’s delegation.

Wild doesn’t plan to run again. Instead, she’s pitching in with candidate recruitment.

He’s vulnerable. Plus we have a great candidate in Bob Harvie, the County Commissioner. We need a vicious campaign that highlights every time he votes against us despite his claim of being “independent” and “moderate”.
