PA-07: Pinsley (D) Drops Out to Make Another State Senate Run

Lehigh County controller Mark Pinsley ended his campaign for the Democratic nomination in the 7th Congressional District on Wednesday morning to turn his attention to a Pennsylvania State Senate seat.

Pinsley bowed out of the crowded PA-07 race after raising just over $52,000 in Q4 and “taking a hard look at my campaign finances.”

In comparison, Ryan Crosswell raised over $443,000 during the same three-month period at the end of 2025.

Pinsley does believe, though, that he has “the network, support, and experience to win the nomination for State Senate in the 16th District.”
