The candidates on this page are running for seats in the Pennsylvania General Assembly in Harrisburg. Along with basic information about each district and its candidates we have provided a link to the candidate's campaign website, if they provided a website link when they completed their Vote411 candidate survey.

All candidates have been invited to participate in Vote411.

Candidate voter "mini-guides" will be created for competitive races where at least one candidate has responded to their Vote411 survey. These mini-guides will be available in late September after the print publication deadline.

Check vote411.org for the most up-to date information. Once the deadline for print publication is past, candidates may still submit or update their online responses at any time.
