PA-07: Lehigh Valley congressional candidates raised $1.5 million, new campaign finance reports show

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — The fundraising heavyweights in the Lehigh Valley's congressional race continued to financially distance themselves from the pack through the end of 2025, according to the latest round of campaign finance reports.

All together, six candidates for Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District raised more than $1.5 million toward their midterm campaigns through the last three months of the year.

But nearly 90% of that funding went to Republican incumbent Ryan Mackenzie and two of his Democratic challengers, former federal prosecutor Ryan Crosswell and firefighter union boss Bob Brooks.

The other three candidates who reported fundraising — Democrats Lamont McClure, Carol Obando-Derstine and Mark Pinsley — ended the quarter with less money than with which they started.
