While Wright-Riggins is seeking his third consecutive term in a borough that has voted largely blue in recent years, Republicans are coming off a strong showing by President Trump in the wider Philadelphia suburbs during the 2024 presidential election. The GOP hopes to maintain that momentum into the 2025 municipal elections.

The results of local races, including the Collegeville mayoral contest, could provide an important bellwether for how swing state voters are perceiving the first year of the Trump administration.
