The 7th Congressional District in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley is perhaps the biggest battleground district in the United States and the party that holds the seat may also be the one that controls the majority in the U.S. House.

Rep. Ryan Mackenzie defeated Susan Wild by 5,000 votes in 2024 and will face a challenger from among three Democrats vying for the nomination – Lamont McClure, Carol Obando-Derstine, and Ryan Crosswell.

The incumbent raised just over $800,000 in the second quarter of 2025, while spending about $212,000, leaving him with $1.19 million on hand.

Here is a list of each candidate’s top individual contributors, as well as a look at their support from political action committees.
