9th Congressional District

The matchup between Democratic Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti and Republican U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan ranks ninth in advertising spending among 21 U.S. House races considered tossups nationwide.

The two candidates for the 9th Congressional District seat tangled in a lively debate outside Pottsville last night. Meanwhile, a debate for the 7th Congressional District seat is off after one candidate backed out.

Democratic challenger Rachel Wallace met Republican U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser Tuesday night for the only scheduled debate between the two Pennsylvania 9th Congressional District candidates at Penn State Schuylkill in Schuylkill Haven.

The Pennsylvania Insurance Department released the finalized rates for insurers that offer plans through Pennie, the state’s Affordable Care Act Marketplace. While rates are up across the board, they are lower than what insurers initially proposed.

Matchup between congressional candidates will be simulcast live on WVIA-TV and WVIA-FM, with news coverage at wvia.org.

Meuser and Wallace won't debate at WVIA, but the Oct. 29 Bresnahan-Cognetti debate is set to proceed at the station with Krawczeniuk, Collins and Schertzer as panelists and Matisak as moderator.

Former firefighter Bob Brooks piled up more than twice as votes as his closest contenders to win the Democratic nomination for the 7th Congressional District seat. Brooks will face incumbent Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie.

Pennsylvania’s 9th Congressional District has twice as many Republicans as Democrats, but that isn’t discouraging a bunch of Democrats from trying to challenge off four-term Republican congressman Dan Meuser next year.

Democrat Rachel Wallace says she's running for the 9th Congressional District seat because U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser, a Republican, hasn't done a good job representing district residents.

Sources say U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser will not try to challenge Gov. Josh Shapiro in 2026. And, there's a lot of buzz in King of Prussia - find out why one organization is hosting honeybees.
