2026 battleground election
Ballotpedia identified the May 19, 2026, Democratic primary as a battleground election. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.
Shaun Griffith, Christopher Rabb, Ala Stanford, and Sharif Street are running in the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District on May 19, 2026. Incumbent Dwight Evans is not running for re-election. Rabb, Stanford, and Street lead in media attention, campaign fundraising, and endorsements.[3][4] There are no Republicans running in the district
Local media outlets have framed the race as both an example of generation shifts in officeholders that are taking place around the country, and as a test of different types of Democratic candidates' messaging to turnout voters.[5][6]
Evans was unopposed in the 2024 general election. Kamala Harris (D) won the district, which is located in Philadelphia, 88.1% to 10.7% in the 2024 presidential election.[7] Evans was first elected to Congress in Pennsylvania's 2nd Congressional District in 2016 and was elected to represent Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District in 2018. According to Philadelphia Magazine, this is the first time the seat has been open in 35 years.[6]
Rabb was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 2016. He previously worked as an aide for U.S. Sen Carol Moseley Braun (D-Ill.) and on the White House Conference on Small Business during the Clinton administration.[3] On his campaign website, Rabb describes himself as a democratic socialist.[8] In a press conference, Rabb said, "Centrism is not going to save us. We need real change, not another status quo politician who gives us more of the same. We need to elect a movement candidate.”[3] U.S. Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.), U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), state Rep. Nikil Saval (D), Philadelphia City Councilmembers Kendra Brooks and Nicolas O’Rourke, the Working Families Party, Philadelphia Democratic Socialists of America, Justice Democrats, and the Congressional Progressive Caucus have endorsed Rabb.
Stanford is a physician and health care executive. In March 2020, she founded the Black Doctors Consortium in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, President Joe Biden (D) appointed her the Mid-Atlantic regional director for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.[4] Stanford is running on her medical experience, and has said, "The same old politics and the same old politicians are not going to cut it. We need people who step up in a storm, who lead when others wilt away, and that’s what I’ve done and will do for this city. When our government failed us during COVID, I stepped up and delivered results for Philadelphia.”[3] Evans, U.S. Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.), U.S. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.), U.S. Rep. Herb Conaway (D-N.J.), U.S. Rep. Ami Bera (D. Calif.), former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, EMILY's List, and 314 Action Fund have endorsed Stanford.[4][3]
Street was elected to the Pennsylvania Senate in 2016. Street is the son of former Philadelphia Mayor John F. Street and the former chair of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party.[3] Street is running on his legislative experience. In an interview with the Daily Pennsylvanian, he said, “There are a lot of parallels between the way our state government works and federal government, and I’ve worked in an environment where you have to work with both Republicans and Democrats to get things done.”[9] The Philadelphia Democratic Party, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker (D), former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, as well as several local wards and trade unions have endorsed Street.[3]

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[10] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[11] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Campaign website
Rabb's campaign website stated the following:
Building an Affordable and Accessible Society for All
As costs go up against stagnant wages, we face a growing affordability crisis. Basic goods and services are increasingly impossible for working people to afford. More and more families are rent-burdened, cost-burdened, and forced to make impossible choices between necessities – like paying for food or paying for gas to get to work.
Universal basic income and a living wage for all will help tackle the affordability crisis, but we must also create direct public services, including national grocery stores, free high-speed public transit, and high-speed gigabit broadband for every household.
Beating the affordability crisis also means passing a strong climate agenda. This includes a Civil Climate Corps that will help create millions of good-paying jobs and ensure a strong and sustainable transition to renewable energy for every community.
When people have jobs that pay them for their hard work, clean water, clean air, clean energy, and more green spaces, we can create a future in which our families and communities have everything they need to survive and thrive.

Supporting Safer Communities
Real safety comes from strong communities, not over-policing or over-prosecuting. We must reduce violence by investing in housing, education, good jobs, and mental health care – the true foundations of stability.
When ICE terrorizes our neighbors, when families are separated and innocent people are targeted in the name of citizenship, it is an attack on our communities. When giant corporations and special interests buy up our politicians, and exploit, skirt or change our laws to line their pockets, it is an attack on our right to make our voices heard. When militarized police attack and murder peaceful protestors, it is an attack on our right to stand up for the things we know our communities need most.
In Philadelphia, we see that investing in our communities works; crime has dropped along with incarceration and recidivism rates. States across the country are proving that decriminalizing poverty and reducing incarceration actually does lead to lower crime.
Community safety is about care, accountability, and investment in people, so every neighborhood can be a place where everyone is safe and free to thrive.

Peace as a Policy
American leadership for too long has been defined by the violent impact we have on other nations. We must immediately dismantle the military industrial complex, cease all imperialist foreign policy, and end all U.S. led efforts for regime-change.
We must stop funding violations of human rights. The genocide in Gaza must end. The genocide in the Sudan must end. Every person deserves to be safe, no matter where their home is. Every state’s right to exist obligates it to extend equal rights to all people.
Every President in modern history has avoided Congressional oversight while conducting bombing campaigns and military expeditions abroad. Congress is supposed to act as a check and balance on Presidential war-making authority, but has failed to live up to its responsibility year after year. We must immediately reduce the U.S. military footprint abroad and invest in addressing the root causes of systemic violence across the world.

Public Ownership Revitalized
From Independence Hall to Fairmont Park to public libraries and rec centers across the country, the federal government’s strong economic investments have historically created pathways to productivity and pride. By employing millions of people, the government has lifted families out of poverty and provided sustainable and quality jobs during times of desperate need.
As a Democratic Socialist, I believe that revitalizing federal public works programs would reclaim pathways to long-term economic mobility and create a focus point for critical national efforts like infrastructure upgrades, green energy conversion, nature conservation, and more.

Climate Crisis
As we continue to face the increasing impacts of climate change, we need action now. Decarbonizing our economy is not just good for the environment and our health and safety, it will also strengthen economic opportunity for so many of our most vulnerable communities. Passing a strong climate agenda that includes a Civil Climate Corps will help create millions of good-paying jobs and ensure a strong and sustainable transition to renewable energy for every community.
Clean water, clean air, clean energy, more green space, and millions of jobs is a vision of the future our families and communities need to survive and thrive.

Defending Our Democracy
In cities and communities across the country, we are feeling the devastation of our collapsing democracy. Our institutions are being undermined, our freedom of speech is under attack, and our very ability to count our votes questioned.
Our democracy is also threatened by a deadly ICE crackdown. When families are separated and innocent people are targeted in the name of citizenship, it is an attack on our core democratic values. When billionaires buy up local media and stifle the news to fit their worldview, it is an attack on us. When giant corporations buy up politicians, exploit, skirt or change our laws to line their pockets, it is an attack on our ability to make our voice heard in our democracy.
But we can have a real democracy. It’s time to step up to defend our rights.

Fully Funded Education
Our country’s education system is in shambles. School buildings filled with lead and asbestos, overcrowded classrooms, and billionaire-backed competition for tight school funding have all undermined public school education.
A truly universal child care system for kids from birth to age five, an equitably funded K-12 public school system, and truly free public college and job training programs will help ensure ongoing education access and opportunity for all.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
