“ChangePA was the game-changer for my campaign.”
— Rep. Joe Webster
What a difference a day makes!
The November 3rd election was a resounding success for Democrats up and down the ballot! In the Pennsylvania House, all four candidates we worked so hard to support with our Four Districts Project were victorious:
-
Bryan Allen
-
Kristin Egan
-
Elizabeth Moro
-
Jeff Warren
And so were two other candidates we supported with additional funds: Sara Agerton and Hadley Haas!
Thanks to you and your contributions, the Democrats have a 111 to 88 majority in the Pennsylvania House (with only a handful of cases left to be called)--as well as control of the Pennsylvania Senate and the governor's mansion. We hit the trifecta!
Thank you for all your help!!!

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 launched the Four Districts Project. We targeted four districts that Democrats had a real chance of taking away from the Republicans. For those districts, we supported four great candidates: Bryan Allen, District 18 (Bucks County); Kristin Egan, District 142 (Bucks County); Elizabeth Moro, District 160 (Chester and Delaware Counties); and Jeff Warren, District 137 (Northampton County). All of them won!
We supported 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.
Since our start, we have helped to elect and retain 22 Democratic legislators. 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 slim majority.
On November 3rd, with your help, we increased that majority to at least 111 to 88 and safeguarded 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!”
— Rep. Danielle Friel Otten

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 Democratic majority.
Guests also learned about our Four Districts Project and the four inspiring candidates we were supporting who we believed could flip Republican-held seats: Bryan Allen, Kristen Egan, Elizabeth Moro, and Jeff Warren

House Parties
ChangePA hosted House Parties throughout the year to introduce you to our candidates.
Here are photos from one we held at the incredible home of Steering Committee member Margaret Harris. This House Party supported one of our Four District Project candidates, Jeff Warren from District 137 in Northampton County.
Candidates
The Four Districts Project
For the 2026 elections we targeted four Pennsylvania districts where the Republicans were most vulnerable. We provided the Democratic candidates with funds early in the election process so that they could maximize the effectiveness of your donations. In addition -- new this year -- we assisted them directly with mentoring and expert data-driven guidance.
We believed that the Four Districts Project would be key not only to protect the 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!
Winning Candidates
Here are the 17 Pennsylvania State House Representatives who
ChangePA previously helped to elect and retain since 2017.
