PA-08, PA-10: Stelson (D), Cognetti (D) and Perry (R) are among PA's top congressional fundraisers in 2026

Campaign finance reports for the first quarter of 2026 are in, and they offer a glimpse into which Pennsylvania congressional candidates have a financial edge heading into the May 19 primary election.

Democratic challengers Janelle Stelson and Paige Cognetti were the two strongest fundraisers in Q1, each raising more than $1 million through the end of March. Meanwhile, several Republican incumbents have significant war chests heading into competitive general election matchups, chief among them U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, who reported having $7,655,968 in cash on hand at the end of March – more than any other candidate running for a congressional seat in the commonwealth.

City & State combed through the latest round of campaign finance reports filed with the Federal Election Commission to put together a race-by-race breakdown of the latest fundraising numbers in Pennsylvania's 2026 congressional elections.
