Republicans running for US senate - PA

Dave McCormick

The former hedge fund CEO for Bridgewater Associates joined the Senate race at the start of January 2022. Just two weeks later, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas headlined a rally for Dave McCormick at a skeet shooting facility near Allentown.

 

McCormick’s career in politics includes his time as a Treasury official for former President George W. Bush’s administration.

 

In a Fox News poll, which interview 960 Pennsylvania Republican primary voters during the first week of March, McCormick took a nine-point lead in the race.

 

His name was officially added to the ballot for the May primary on March 14.

Carla Sands

Carla Sands, who was former President Donald Trump’s Danish Ambassador, announced her candidacy for the open Senate seat back in July 2021 at a Cumberland County rally.

 

“The race is getting real,” Sands told abc27’s Dennis Owens. “Others are in the race as well but I told [former President Donald Trump] I’m the only one that’s not a RINO but can also get elected.”

 

Sands’ candidate status was approved and her name was added to the ballot on March 11.

In the 2018 campaign cycle, Bartos was the Republican nominee for Pennsylvania lieutenant governor. Outside of politics, he owns a contracting company and several real estate acquisition and developing companies in the Greater Philadelphia market.

 

Bartos’ name was added to the growing list of Republican candidates on March 10.

Mehmet Oz

Host of “The Dr. Oz Show” and attending physician at NY Presbyterian-Columbia Medical Center announced his candidacy in December 2021.

 

While Mehmet Oz lives in New Jersey and works in New York, he told abc27’s Owens, “I actually think people are much less concerned about where I’m from than what I stand for and the values that I hold are deeply held by many Pennsylvanians.”

 

Oz’s name was officially added to the ballot on March 11. In the recent Fox News poll, he was the only other Republican candidate to receive double-digit support from the voters interviewed.
