Incumbent Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat and rumored future presidential candidate, hopes to vie for a second term; he faced no primary opponents. Republican Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity, who was also unopposed in her own primary, hopes to unseat him in November.<\/p>\n Down the ballot, voters across the state were deciding Democratic and Republican nominees for House races that could play a critical role in which party holds the majority in the chamber following the November midterms.<\/p>\n Democrats are targeting four House districts held by Republicans in Pennsylvania, but they first had to get through contested primaries in three of them. Republicans, meanwhile, will have to defend those seats in November but didn\u2019t face contested primaries in those districts.<\/p>\n Separately, in Philadelphia, Democratic voters decided in the 3rd District primary who they wanted to nominate to replace retiring longtime Rep. Dwight Evans. No Republicans ran for the seat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nState significance<\/h3>\n
