President & CEO Political & Grassroots Director Pennsylvania Business Council On Twitter: @PaBizCouncil & @PEGPAC Election 2014 1 Governor R 18 Members of Congress 13 R / 5 D 25 State Senators (even-numbered) 15 R / 10 D at least 3 GOP open seats/ 1 Dem open seat 203 State Representatives 110 R / 92 D 1 vacancy

2014 is the ‘short’ ballot the state encounters once every 12 years. With no race for President, Senator or state row office, half the state will vote in 4 elections: Governor, Congress, state Senate and state House…while the other half will vote in just 3: Governor, Congress and state House. 32 Governor

The Democrats: (clockwise): Joellen Litz, Katie McGinty, John Hanger, Allyson Republican Gov. Schwartz, Ed Tom Corbett Pawlowski, Tom Wolf, Rob McCord & Max Myers

Surveys show all Democrats tested would beat Corbett now. 33 2010 Governor Map Corbett v. Onorato

Corbett won:  63 Counties  2,172,763 votes  54.5%

34 2014 Race for Governor: Unprecedented

 2014 will play host to the first gubernatorial re-election race in modern history where the result is in doubt. Though Gov. Thornburgh’s 1982 campaign turned out to be close (100,000 votes/ 51-48%) it was not viewed that way at the start.

 Since the state Constitution was amended in 1968 to allow governors to serve two terms, they have been re-elected by relatively large margins (Casey in ‘90 with 67%, Ridge in ‘98 with 66% & Rendell in 2006 with 58%).

 That’s why there are so many Democrats vying for their party’s nomination during a gubernatorial re-election cycle: it’s the first one that really means something. 35 Congress: Can Democrats Gain?

Democrats (in blue) hold just 5 of the state’s 18 seats in the U.S. House. And in 2012 no GOP incumbent won by less than 13%. (Cong. Mike Fitzpatrick, R-8)

36 8th Congressional

District Make-up: All of Bucks County and small portion (Indian Valley) of Montgomery County. Registration: 42% R; 42% D; 16% Ind. Performance: 49.3% Obama

Democrats Shaughnessy Mike Fitzpatrick (R) Naughton & Kevin Strouse Incumbent

Fitzpatrick won re-election in 2012 with 56.6%. Strouse, who just moved to the district, is part of another attempt by national Democrats to recruit veterans to run for Congress 37 while Naughton is a local small business owner. 13th Congressional

District Make-up: Close-in Montgomery County suburbs plus large swath of northeast Philadelphia. A majority of all voters live in the Montgomery County portion but a majority of Democrats live in the city portion. Registration: 29% R; 60% D; 11% Ind. Performance: 66% Obama

Margolies has led all the polls here, given her higher, residual name ID. Philly Cong. Bob Brady, also city Democrat leader, is in for Boyle. Arkoosh has raised an impressive amount of Democrats vying for Pa-13 nod: Sen. Daylin Leach, money and Leach has Marjorie Margolies, Rep. Brendan Boyle & Dr. Valerie run to the left. Neither Arkoosh Margolies nor Leach actually live in the district while Boyle is the only 38 one from the city. Pennsylvania Legislature

Districts: GOP incumbents in 26th, 28th & 36th districts are not running for re-election. Voter Registration: The 28th (Waugh) & 36th (Brubaker) are heavily Republican and in both seats the GOP primary will determine the new Senator.

Ted Erickson (R-26)

District: The 40th District was moved from Allegheny County into Monroe & Northampton counties – 65% of the district formerly belonged to the 18th (Boscola) & 16th (Browne) districts. Voter Registration: 37% R/ 45% D/ 17% Ind.

 About 75% of Scavello’s House seat is in the new 40th Senate  Registered voters are nearly evenly split between Rep. Mario Monroe & Scavello will be Northampton the GOP candidate – no counties Democrat has 42 yet emerged Open Democratic State Senate Seat

Districts: In Sen. Jim Ferlo’s (D-38th) district a lot of Republicans, including Sen. Randy Vulakovic, got moved into the seat so Ferlo decided to retire instead of running again. Voter Registration: Old 38th was 70% Democrat but now it’s 50% D /38% R /12% Ind

The new 38th (in red) went from a +50% Democratic & 50% Pittsburgh seat to a +12% Democratic seat that’s just 8.5% in the city.

43 PA Senate Incumbents – Races to Watch

Republicans: Democrats:

 Tommy Tomlinson (6th), Chuck McIlhinney  Leanna Washington – 4th District: She (10th) and Stewart Greenleaf (12th) always and her office are under investigation have the potential to have tough races in by state AG’s office their Bucks & Montgomery county seats  John Yudichak – 14th District: won with  Pat Browne – 16th District: He represents 55.5% in 2010 the most Democrat district held by a  Rich Kasunic – 32nd District: GOP has Republican targeted his district, which is 20% new  Randy Vulakovich – 38th District: open due in redistricting to Sen. Ferlo not seeking re-election  Tim Solobay – 46th District: He won with just 53% in 2012, the closest race of any incumbent Senator that year. 44 New State House Seats

Districts: HD-5, HD-22, HD-74 & HD-169 were all moved in redistricting Voter Registration: The 22nd & 74th are heavily Democratic, the 5th has a slight GOP edge & the 169th is heavily Republican. Barring any real surprises, all should be decided in their respective primaries with possible exception of the 5th

Details:

 The 5th is central and western Berks County – registration is 46/41/13 R/D/I  The 22nd is Allentown & majority Hispanic -- registration is 17/66/17 R/D/I  The 74th is Downingtown-Coatesville -- registration is 33/52/15 R/D/I  The 169th is southwestern York County -- registration is 55/32/13 R/D/I

Announced retirements: Running for other office:  Phyllis Mundy (D)  Chris Ross (R)  Gordon Denlinger (R)  Dick Stevenson (R)  Ryan Aument (R)  Jerry Stern (R)  Mario Scavello (R)

Ross’ district, 158th, will be a competitive Denlinger & Aument’s districts seat will be race and so, to a lesser extent, could the decided in the GOP primary but Scavello’s 120th (Mundy).
