“McCormick held his first town hall since becoming Pennsylvania’s senator over the phone on Tuesday, in an hour-long, wide-ranging Q-and-A with residents who were identified like callers on sports talk radio — in a format featuring far less heated debate.
The tele-town hall was advertised 30 minutes before it started via a post on McCormick’s X account.
Members of Congress have become harder to reach in recent years, but in a moment when government is changing rapidly and constituent complaints are piling up, Pennsylvania residents are finding their lawmakers even more elusive.” (Philadelphia Inquirer)

Swing State Senators Come Together In Rare Show of Bipartisanship, Dems Aren’t Happy About It. “Pennsylvania Sens. Dave McCormick and John Fetterman will host their first joint public event in Pittsburgh this Saturday, but not everyone is pleased with the Democratic senator’s bipartisan show of support for his Republican colleagues’ new book.” (Fox News)
Collaboration or Combat? How Fetterman & Lamb Take Different Democratic Approaches to Trump. “For Democrats, Charles Dickens’ classic opening line — “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” — is only half true. But how the party recovers from 2024 may be a tale told in two Pennsylvania communities.” (WESA Politics)
President Trump Endorses Rep. Scott Perry. “President Trump took to Truth Social earlier today to provide a preemptive endorsement of Congressman Scott Perry, who currently represents Pennsylvania’s 10th congressional district.” (abc27)
“In south-central Pennsylvania, Democrats managed a historic flip. It is probably safe to say that Lancaster County, PA has been one of the most loyally Republican counties in the nation since the Civil War.
At times during that era, it was represented in Congress by Thaddeus Stevens, who led the Radical Republican faction in the House during Reconstruction and rose to some prominence more recently when Tommy Lee Jones portrayed him in the award-winning 2012 film Lincoln. Since then, it has only backed Republican candidates for president, with the exception of Lyndon Johnson in 1964 (and he carried the county by less than 1 point).” (Center for Politics)

Garrity-Mastriano 2026? Doug Mastriano Floats Teaming Up With Stacy Garrity to Beat Dan Meuser In GOP Primary For PA Governor. “As Republicans line up to challenge Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro in 2026, State Sen. Doug Mastriano has a new ticket he thinks would be “unbeatable” for the GOP: Mastriano and Treasurer Stacy Garrity.” (Philadelphia Inquirer)
‘No State On Its Own’ Can Replace Federal Election Cybersecurity Resources, PA Voting Official Says. “The Shapiro administration is reviewing President Donald Trump’s sweeping executive order that overhauls U.S. elections. Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt said Thursday Gov. Josh Shapiro will do everything in his power to protect voting rights.” (Penn Capital-Star)
Lawmakers’ Perks: Free Penn State Football Tickets. “Being a lawmaker in Pennsylvania’s General Assembly comes with many perks.It’s a full-time job with six-figure pay. Gracious per-diems and mileage allowances make keeping up with the job easy. And, although far less advertised, it also comes with at least four free tickets to a Penn State football game once a year.” (Broad + Liberty)
“For the first time during the primary election season, all four candidates for Pittsburgh mayor appeared on the same stage.
Each candidate was allotted 15 minutes each to answer a series of questions ranging from affordable housing and city finances to public safety and President Donald Trump.” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
O’Connor Criticizes Handling of Pittsburgh Finances, Talks Money-Making Plans. “Standing in front of an abandoned condemned home in Pittsburgh’s Knoxville neighborhood, Pittsburgh mayoral challenger Corey O’Connor repeated a familiar refrain: Pittsburgh’s finances are in bad shape. One way to fix that? Shrink the size of the mayor’s office, he argued.” (WESA)
Krasner Versus … Trump? “The campaign for District Attorney is off to a rollicking start, with incumbent Larry Krasner and challenger Pat Dugan, longtime municipal court judge, going at it in multiple forums already. It’s gotten snippy, but there have also been moments of high-mindedness.” (Philadelphia Citizen)
Federal Layoffs Hit Philadelphia. Here’s What Happened Next For Workers. “As some federal workers navigate the uncertainty of being without a job or on leave, organized efforts have been sprouting up in Philadelphia to help these workers find their next position. Meanwhile, unemployment claims have risen in Pennsylvania in recent weeks, and more cuts are expected in the future.” (Philadelphia Inquirer)
Luzerne County Study Commission OKs Term Limit and Compensation Recommendations. “The citizen commission is drafting a revised county home rule charter for voters to consider in November. Term limit changes would apply to the county’s elected council, district attorney and controller.” (Wilkes-Barre Times Leader)
“York County is preparing for this year’s municipal election with some polling place changes already approved and the casting of lots, where candidates’ ballot order is determined by drawing numbers from an old tin snack can plastered in local newspaper articles.
Candidates in contested races get listed on the ballot based on the random number pulled from the can that spans at least the county’s last four election directors.” (York Dispatch)
