Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s reelection campaign<\/a> says it raised more than $10 million in the first three months of 2026, which sets a new state record for that reporting period<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to a top Shapiro campaign official, the total more than doubles the previous benchmark for a Pennsylvania gubernatorial race at this stage. The official says the haul puts the campaign
in a strong financial position after ending 2025 with over $30 million cash on hand.<\/p>\n

The fundraising haul was first reported by Axios<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The contributions came from all 67 counties in Pennsylvania and across all 50 states, reflecting what a top Shapiro aide described as broad national and in-state support. The contributions from across the country show his deepening national donor network ahead of a potential 2028 presidential run.<\/p>\n

Shapiro’s book, “Where We Keep the Light,” was released in January, and he kicked off a nationwide book tour that included national appearances such as “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”<\/p>\n

Shapiro is donating $250,000 to the state party, focusing on party infastructrue and on flipping four GOP-held battleground seats, the official said.<\/p>\n

Shapiro, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender who was also considered a possible running mate for Kamala Harris in 2024, is expected to face Republican state Treasurer Stacy Garrity<\/a> in the gubernatorial general election as he seeks a second term in November. Pennsylvania’s primary will be on May 19.<\/p>\n

Shapiro reaffirmed Tuesday that he won’t make a decision about 2028 until after the midterm elections while at a book tour stop in Erie, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

“So the only thing I’m focused on, the only thing I think anyone should be focused on, is having a national referendum in these midterms, having an extraordinary turnout for state representative, state senator, Congress, governor \u2014 I’m on the ballot again this year,” Shapiro said, according to the Erie Times-News<\/a>. “It is really, really important we have a national referendum, sending a clear message that we do not like what we’re seeing in Washington, D.C.”<\/p>\n
