2022 U.S. SENATE FIELD BECOMING CROWDED IN PENNSYLVANIA By Hometown1
May 12, 2021 | 4:23 AM
Sean Parnell announced yesterday that he will seek the Republican nomination to replace the retiring Senator Pat Toomey in Washington. One of the big questions is whether or not Conor Lamb will once again stand in his way.
Parnell lost to Lamb by a slim margin in last November’s race for Lamb’s seat in Congress. Lamb has not declared for the Senate but has publicly expressed interest in joining what is becoming a crowded field.
Parnell, a former Army Ranger captain who was wounded in Afghanistan in 2006, joins a Republican field of declared candidates that includes another veteran, Kathy Barnette, along with Jeff Bartos, Sean Gale, and Everett Stern. Others who have expressed interest include two sitting congressmen, Mike Kelly and Guy Reschenthaler, who is also a veteran.

There’s still well over a year until the 2022 election for Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate seat, and already three of the candidates in the quickly expanding race have raised a combined total of around $5.5 million.
So far, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman and State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta have established themselves as the highest-profile Democratic candidates in this early phase of the primary race, and real estate developer and GOP fundraiser Jeff Bartos has jumped into the primary ahead of most other likely party contenders.
Of the well-known candidates, those three were the only ones required to file campaign finance reports for the first quarter of 2021. More have already entered the race, however.
