In the primary election on May 18, the Republican and Democratic races in Region 1 (Letterkenny, Lurgan, Greene 3, Greene 6) and Region 3 (Guilford 2, 4 and 6) are contested. Un-challenged incumbents are seeking the Region 4 (Chambersburg 5-1, Guilford 1) and Region 6 (Hamilton) seats. There are no candidates in Region 7 and Region 8, which have two-year terms.
In Region 3, a veteran local educator and school administrator and a licensed mental health counselor and district parent are vying for the seat. Both have cross-filed, meaning they will appear on both the Republican and Democratic ballots.
Unless there is a write-in campaign, there are two possible outcomes: Each candidate wins one party and both will face off again in the general election in November, or one of them wins both parties' nominations and effectively wins the seat.
