Voters are heading to the polls across the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania and the nation Tuesday in the 2026 midterm elections that will decide control of Congress, the governor’s mansion and the state legislature.
At the top of the ticket locally is the hotly contested race for Congress in the Lehigh Valley-based 7th District between freshman U.S. Rep. Ryan Mackenzie and Democratic challenger Bob Brooks. Voters will also have their say in the Pennsylvania governor’s race between Democratic incumbent Gov. Josh Shapiro and Republican state Treasurer Stacy Garrity.
Every seat in the state House and half of the seats in the state Senate, including all 3 that cover the Lehigh Valley, are also on the ballot.
