The 2022 Pennsylvania state elections took place on November 8, 2022. On that date, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania held elections for the following offices: Governor and Lieutenant Governor (on one ticket), U.S. Senate , U.S. House of Representatives , Pennsylvania State Senate , Pennsylvania House of Representatives , and various other government leadership positions.
Redistricting
As a result of the 2020 Census , Pennsylvania's congressional , State Senate, and State House districts would all be redrawn. Summary 2020 census data released by the United States Census Bureau in April 2021 announced that Pennsylvania would lose one congressional seat.[ 1]
United States Senate
Incumbent Republican senator Pat Toomey announced he would retire at the end of his term and not seek re-election in 2022.[ 2] Democratic lieutenant governor John Fetterman defeated Republican nominee celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz in the general election, making it the only Senate seat to change party control in 2022.
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 .
Pennsylvania State Senate
25 of 50 seats (even-numbered districts) in the Pennsylvania Senate were up for election in Pennsylvania's general election.
Pennsylvania House of Representatives
All 203 seats in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives were up for election in the general election.
Municipal elections
Five Philadelphia City Council seats were up for election in Pennsylvania's general election due to resignations from the incumbents to run for mayor .
Pennsylvania ballot measures
No statewide ballot measures were on the ballot in 2022.
