Key Races, Issues

• Pennsylvania U.S. Senate: Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman faces celebrity physician Dr. Mehmet Oz to cap a vitriolic campaign that saw both candidates go for their opponent's jugular, often at the expense of focusing on policy issues.

Fetterman has a substantial fundraising edge over Oz, but Oz has significantly tightened the race in the polls in recent weeks. The election will determine who succeeds retiring GOP Sen. Pat Toomey.

• Pennsylvania Governor: Democratic state Attorney General Josh Shapiro squares off against Republican state Sen. Doug Mastriano who serves parts of Adams, Cumberland, Franklin and York counties.

Shapiro perhaps is best-known for spearheading an investigation that in 2020 identified more than 300 predator priests in Pennsylvania - including 99 in Pittsburgh. Mastriano is far-right in his political positions and participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. The pair
are vying to succeed outgoing Gov. Tom Wolf, who is prohibited by law from seeking a third term.

• U.S. House: The 17th Congressional District race pits Chris Deluzio of Aspinwall, who works on cybersecurity issues at the University of Pittsburgh, against businessman and former Ross Township commissioner Jeremy Shaffer. The pair are vying to succeed Conor Lamb, who decided against a re-election bid for an ill-fated run for the U.S. Senate.

Shaffer recently told the League of Women Voters Pittsburgh branch that, if elected, he would "put Pennsylvania families first, invest in our infrastructure, keep our communities safe, advance economic reforms, empower parents and local schools, defend our freedoms, and put aside
partisan politics."

Deluzio told the League of Women Voters: "We should be fighting for a vibrant economy that leaves no one behind, not a system that rewards corporations and the ultra wealthy. These are
values that I will bring to Congress and guide my decisions."

The reconfigured 17th District is composed of many of Pittsburgh's northern and western suburbs and Beaver County.

PA House: Republican incumbent Valerie Gaydos faces Democrat Debbie Turici for the 44th District seat.
