Overview
- Gov. Josh Shapiro’s campaign reported raising $10 million in the first quarter of 2026, more than doubling the prior state record for that period.
- A new Susquehanna Polling & Research survey shows Shapiro leading Stacy Garrity 58% to 36% among likely voters, with a margin of error of ±3.7 points.
- The Cook Political Report shifted the contest to solid Democrat in March, citing Shapiro’s high approval, large cash edge, and consistent polling leads.
- Republican treasurer Stacy Garrity has President Donald Trump’s endorsement and held a sold-out Mar-a-Lago fundraiser, yet her reported total to date is about $1.5 million.
- Shapiro’s fundraising followed a nationwide book tour and heavy media schedule, and he has boosted state Democrats with party contributions that could shape down-ballot races.
