Master List of Candidates
Primary Election 2008
If you are uncertain about the number of the House or Senate district in which you live, click here. This takes you to the official General Assembly web site where you can search by your Zip Code.
Then look below to find your county, your House and Senate districts, and your candidates.
Notes: 
1.The information on the General Assembly’s web site provides the names of incumbents and links to their official web sites in addition to the district numbers. In providing this link, Democracy Rising PA does not intend to advantage or disadvantage any incumbent or challenger. We simply were unable to find an official or unofficial Zip Code search for legislative districts that did not list incumbents.
2.Names are listed in the order that they appear on the official candidate list provided by the Bureau of Commissions, Elections and Legislation, PA Department of State.
3.Candidates highlighted in yellow responded to the questionnaire. The others did not.
4.All 203 House seats are up for election this year. Only half of the 50 Senate seats – those with odd numbers – are up for election this year.
