Pennsylvania’s two-term elected state Treasurer Stacy Garrity will seek the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro’s reelection bid in 2026.

Republicans hope Ms. Garrity, the state treasurer, will give them a shot against Gov. Josh Shapiro. But he will be tough to beat, and the Republican field could still be complicated by Doug Mastriano.

Republicans hope to mount a more competitive race next year after the Democratic incumbent cruised to victory over Doug Mastriano in 2022.
