Republican Garrity has snagged Democratic donors in the past. That won't happen if she faces Gov. Shapiro in 2026.

HARRISBURG — Should Stacy Garrity win the Republican nod to run for Pennsylvania governor next year, she’ll need to vie for the financial support of many of the same donors who contributed to Democrat Josh Shapiro’s electoral success.

Garrity won races for Pennsylvania treasurer during the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections without facing primary challengers. In those efforts, she raised a combined $3.7 million.

By comparison, former Gov. Tom Wolf and the three Republicans who wanted to deny him reelection in 2018 collectively raised $57.4 million.
