At least $34M has been spent on key races that will determine Pa. House, Senate control

HARRISBURG — Elizabeth Moro is trying to flip a Republican holdout in the mostly blue Philadelphia suburbs — and she’s got plenty of support.

Tens of thousands of dollars from local and national interest groups have flowed into her state House campaign. She’s also been joined at campaign events by at least one Hollywood celebrity (The OC’s Adam Brody), a well-known gun control advocate (Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter was murdered in a mass shooting), and established figures in the Democratic party including Gov. Josh Shapiro.

The 160th, which includes parts of Chester and Delaware Counties, has been represented by Republican state Rep. Craig Williams since 2021. Its outlier status makes it a top target as Democrats seek to maintain or grow their one-seat majority in the Pennsylvania House.

“When I ran for Congress, it was so hard and money was so tight,” Moro said. “This race … [people] like the governor came to my district. They all recognize the importance of this district.”
