Nine candidates are running in the May 17 Republican primary for Governor of Pennsylvania. Incumbent Tom Wolf (D) is term-limited and cannot run for re-election.
The 2022 race features the largest number of candidates in a Pennsylvania Republican primary since at least 1978. The Philadelphia Inquirer‘s Andrew Seidman wrote, “Campaign aides say this year’s winner could prevail with as little as 28%.”
The state Republican Party decided not to endorse a candidate this year. Lou Barletta, Doug Mastriano, Bill McSwain, and Dave White have led in the polls.
