Tuesday was the deadline for prospective candidates to file their nominating petitions to run in the Pennsylvania primary election on April 23.
While the Democratic and Republican primaries for president are all but decided, there are several contested races down ballot, including state attorney general and auditor general.
In the Lehigh Valley, the most high-profile contested race is the Republican primary for U.S. Congress in the 7th District. State Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, Kevin Dellicker and Maria Montero all are vying for the nomination to face Democratic incumbent Susan Wild in November.
There are several contested races for state House. In the Democratic primary for the 136th District seat, incumbent Rep. Bob Freeman is being challenged by Easton City Council member Taiba Sultana. In the 131st District, journalist Meriam Sabih and Saucon Valley School Board member Jayharon Santos will square off in the Democratic primary, with the winner facing Republican incumbent Milou Mackenzie.
In the 183rd District, Republican Rep. Zachary Mako is being challenged by Slatington Council member Zachari Halkias. The winner will face Democrat Joseph Lenzi in November.
For state Senate, there is a contested Republican primary in the Berks County-based 11th District between Lisha Rowe and Miguel Vasquez.
Objections to nomination petitions can be made until Feb. 20. Candidates have until Feb. 28 to withdraw their names from the primary ballots.
Here is the full list of candidates for statewide and area races who filed their petitions in Harrisburg by the deadline. Names appear in random order. Ballot lotteries to determine candidate order will be held Feb. 21.
