This fall, voters will head to the ballot box to pick Pennsylvania’s next governor. The winner will shape the state’s policies, economy, and priorities for at least four years. 

Long before that date, Democrats and Republicans will vote during the May 17 primary to decide which candidates make it onto the November ballot.

The candidates for governor each have their own ideas about how to reshape election policy, approach environmental issues, and invest in education, among other issues. To help inform you about the 10 candidates and their platforms, Spotlight PA is taking a close look at the themes of the primary and the people running for Pennsylvania’s top job.
