Pennsylvania 2026 Election Results: Shapiro Reelected Governor as Democrats Take 11 House Seats and Flip the State Senate

Governor and U.S. Senator

Pennsylvania voted in the 2026 midterm elections on November 3. The results below are the collective choice of the state's voters. According to the Pennsylvania Department of State's official count and Associated Press race calls, Gov. Josh Shapiro was reelected, with Lt. Gov. Austin Davis reelected on the same ticket. No U.S. Senate seat and no statewide ballot question was on this year's ballot. All 17 U.S. House seats have been called: Democrats flipped the delegation to 11 seats against 6. The state Senate flipped to Democrats, 26-24, giving Pennsylvania its first Democratic trifecta — governor and both legislative chambers — since 1993.

Governor: Josh Shapiro (D, incumbent), 3,004,923 votes, about 60.4%, reelected. The AP called the race at 8:01 p.m. ET on November 3.

Governor, other candidates: Stacy Garrity (R, the state treasurer), 1,907,034 votes, about 38.3%; Ken Krawchuk (Libertarian), 64,433 votes, about 1.3%. Lt. Gov. Austin Davis (D) was reelected on Shapiro's ticket.

U.S. Senator: no election this year. Sen. John Fetterman's (D) seat is next contested in 2028, and Sen. Dave McCormick's (R) in 2030.

Other Statewide Offices

No other statewide office was on the ballot: the attorney general, state treasurer and auditor general are elected in presidential years, next in 2028. The incumbents are Attorney General Dave Sunday (R), Treasurer Stacy Garrity (R) and Auditor General Tim DeFoor (R).

The secretary of the Commonwealth is appointed, not elected; the incumbent, Al Schmidt, was appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state Senate. Pennsylvania has no elected state comptroller, and statewide judicial elections are held in odd years, so none was on this ballot.

Ballot Questions

No statewide ballot question or constitutional amendment appeared on this year's Pennsylvania ballot. Local questions in Philadelphia and elsewhere are city and county matters and are not part of this list.
