“ChangePA was the game-changer for my campaign.” 

— Rep. Joe Webster

These are challenging political times. But with your donations, we can protect the one-seat Democratic majority in the Pennsylvania House -- and even increase it. 

For the crucial November 2026 elections, ChangePA is starting early. We have launched the Four Districts Project to target the most vulnerable Republican seats and to give our Democratic candidates campaign funds and expert guidance. 

In 2022, we helped flip control of the Pennsylvania House to a Democratic majority. We helped retain that majority in 2024 despite the MAGA onslaught. Donate now to defeat extremist Republicans and their President!

TIME FOR CHANGE

“ChangePA’s support gave me the financial boost I needed—to spend my time at the doors, listening and speaking with people, instead of having to ask for money.” 

— Rep. Melissa Shusterman

Who We Are

The Four Districts Project

 

We are a Political Action Committee dedicated to increasing the Democratic majority in the Pennsylvania State House. We find and support strong candidates in Republican-held districts that have the potential to be flipped.

For the 2026 elections, we have launched the Four Districts Project. We are targeting four districts that Democrats have a real chance of taking away from the Republicans. For those districts, we are supporting four great candidates: Bryan Allen, District 18 (Bucks County); Kristen Egan, District 142 (Bucks County); Elizabeth Moro, District 160 (Chester and Delaware Counties); and Jeff Warren, District 137 (Northampton County). 

We will be supporting our candidates not only with much needed funds, but also with mentoring and expert data-driven guidance.​ Read more about them below in our Candidates section!

ChangePA focuses on State House races because they receive less public attention and less funding than other races—so our contributions have a big impact.​ Using a rigorous candidate selection process, we are able to contribute where funds will make the biggest difference and at the time the candidates most need help. We have no paid staff, so every dollar we raise above expenses goes to candidates.​

 

In 2017, Democrats were in the minority by a margin of 33 seats. In 2022, we helped flip the House.Democrats ended 12 years of Republican power and achieved a one-seat majority.​ Since our start, we have helped to elect and retain 17 Democratic legislators. In 2026, with your help, we could increase our majority and safeguard Pennsylvania from the MAGA extremists

“ChangePA helped us to level the playing field. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

April 19 Special Event Raises Over $100,000!

ChangePA hosted a special event on April 19 at the Fleisher Art Memorial, in the beautiful Queen Village neighborhood of Philadelphia. The event raised over $100,000 for the 2026 Elections to help secure a powerful Democratic majority in the Pennsylvania House.

We were joined by State Representatives Jenn O'Mara, Melissa Shusterman, and Joe Webster in a discussion moderated by the delightful former CBS Philadelphia anchor Pat Ciarrocchi. They told us about life in the Pennsylvania House and the urgency of increasing our one-vote Democratic majority.

Guests also learned about our Four Districts Project and the four inspiring candidates we are supporting who we believe can flip Republican-held seats: Bryan AllenKristen EganElizabeth Moro, and Jeff Warren

Candidates

The Four Districts Project

 

For the 2026 elections we will be targeting four Pennsylvania districts where the Republicans are most vulnerable. We will provide the Democratic candidates with funds early in the election process so that they can maximize the effectiveness of your donations. In addition -- new this year -- we will assist them directly with mentoring and expert data-driven guidance.

 

We believe that the Four Districts Project will be key not only to protect the fragile one-vote Democratic majority but also to increase it -- and thereby safeguard Pennsylvania from the insane laws MAGA extremists want to pass.

Here are our four candidates!
