What seats are up for grabs in the Pennsylvania primaries?

Pennsylvanians will narrow the list of candidates for dozens of state and federal elected seats in the May primaries.

GOVERNOR

There are four candidates for governor. Incumbent Tom Wolf will represent the Democratic Party; click here for his campaign website.

Three Republicans are also vying for the highest elected seat in Pennsylvania – click their names for their campaign websites:

• Laura Ellsworth of Ohio Township, a lawyer.
• Paul Mango of Pine Township, an Army veteran and businessman.
• State Sen. Scott Wagner of York, a businessman who took office in 2014.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

There are 13 candidates for lieutenant governor. In the primaries, they are not paired on the ballot with gubernatorial candidates. Incumbent Michael Stack is one of six candidates seeking to represent the Democratic Party in the general election; click here for his campaign website.

The other Democratic candidates are:

• John Fetterman, the mayor of Braddock.
• Ray Sosa, a businessman from Montgomery County.
• Kathi Cozzone, a Chester County commissioner.
• Nilofer Nina Ahmad, a former mayoral aide from Philadelphia.

Four Republicans are campaigning for lieutenant governor, as well. They are:

• Jeff Bartos, a real estate developer from Montgomery County. He and Wagner are paired politically.
• Kathy Coder, a businesswoman from Bellevue.
• Marguerite "Peg" Luksik, an activist from Johnstown.
• Diana Irey Vaughan, a Washington County commissioner. She and Mango are paired politically.

Joe Gale, a Montgomery County commissioner, was removed from the ballot by a judge because he isn’t yet 30, the legal age to take statewide office in Pennsylvania.
