Incumbent Senator Bob Casey (D) is running for reelection and secured his Democratic Party nomination in this primary. Dave McCormick (R) is the Republican candidate running against Casey.

U.S. House Rep. Kevin Boyle (D), the seven-term incumbent, lost his re-election seat to new candidate Sean Dougherty. Dougherty is the son of current Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Kevin Dougherty (D). State Representative Jim Gregory (R) of Legislative District 80 lost his current seat to Scott Barger, whose previous occupations include radio station operator and pastor.

The final elections for these government positions will be held on November 5, where voters will decide which candidates will actually fill the vacant seats for the next election cycle.
