Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity will seek the Republican nomination to challenge Gov. Josh Shapiro's reelection bid in 2026.

Garrity appears to be positioning herself as the obvious Republican candidate as she attempts to straddle the line between MAGA and mainstream.

Republicans hope Ms. Garrity, the state treasurer, will give them a shot against Gov. Josh Shapiro. But he will be tough to beat, and the Republican field could still be complicated by Doug Mastriano.
