PA-GOV: Garrity (R) hits Mar-a-Lago as she struggles to compete with Shapiro on fundraising

HARRISBURG — In the first three months of 2026, the two major party candidates for Pennsylvania governor traveled the country to meet with donors and build their cash reserves ahead of November’s election.

So far, Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro has been much more successful at raising those dollars than Republican Treasurer Stacy Garrity.

Shapiro, who has consistently set Pennsylvania fundraising records over the past few years, outraised Garrity 10 to 1. His campaign brought in $10.5 million between Jan. 1 and March 30, as he held fundraisers while traveling to promote his memoir. He ended the period with $36 million in the bank.

Garrity has also officially hit the campaign trail. She held a sold-out fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s Florida club, at the end of March, which a GOP source told PennLive cleared six figures. Other Garrity public events were lower-key, including a lunch with supporters in Somerset County and an appearance at the Scranton St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
