“ChangePA was the game-changer for my campaign.”
— Rep. Joe Webster
These are challenging political times. But with your donations, we can protect the one-seat Democratic majority in the Pennsylvania House -- and even increase it.
For the crucial November 2026 elections, ChangePA is starting early. We have launched the Four Districts Project to target the most vulnerable Republican seats and to give our Democratic candidates campaign funds and expert guidance.
In 2022, we helped flip control of the Pennsylvania House to a Democratic majority. We helped retain that majority in 2024 despite the MAGA onslaught. Donate now to defeat extremist Republicans and their President!

TIME FOR CHANGE
“ChangePA’s support gave me the financial boost I needed—to spend my time at the doors, listening and speaking with people, instead of having to ask for money.”
— Rep. Melissa Shusterman
Hear our own Deb Ciamacca explain our vision for the Four Districts Project and why we think Pennsylvania Democrats can stop the MAGA army in its tracks!
Who We Are
The Four Districts Project
We are a Political Action Committee dedicated to winning a Democratic majority in the Pennsylvania State House. We find and support strong candidates in Republican-held districts that have the potential to be flipped.
For the 2026 elections, we have launched the Four Districts Project. We are targeting four districts that Democrats have a real chance of taking away from the Republicans. We will be supporting the Democratic candidates not only with much needed funds, but also with planning and expert data-driven guidance.
The first candidate we will be supporting this year is Elizabeth Moro, running in District 160, which spans parts of Chester and Delaware Counties, including Chadds Ford, Bethel, Concord, and Birmingham Townships.
ChangePA focuses on State House races because they receive less public attention and less funding than elections to the U.S. Congress—so our contributions have a big impact. Using a rigorous candidate selection process, we are able to contribute where funds will make the biggest difference and at the time the candidates most need help. We have no paid staff, so every dollar we raise above expenses goes to candidates.
In 2017, Democrats were in the minority by a margin of 33 seats. In 2022, we flipped the House. We ended 12 years of Republican power and achieved a one-seat majority. Since our start, we have helped to elect and retain 17 Democratic legislators. In 2026, with your help, we could grow our majority and safeguard Pennsylvania from the MAGA extremists.
“ChangePA helped us to level the playing field. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
— Rep. Danielle Friel Otten

The latest installment of our live online series featured State Representatives Jenn O'Mara and Joe Webster. They had a great conversation about how Democrats in Harrisburg are fighting back against the horrible policies of the Trump Administration.
We have also had conversations with State Representatives Lisa Borowski, Paul Friel, Brian Munroe, Danielle Friel Otten, and Tarah Probst.

Fleisher Art Memorial
ChangePA’s 2024 Spring Party took place at the Fleisher Art Memorial. An incredible crowd of people joined us to enjoy a great party and to celebrate the state representatives who together we helped to victory since 2017.
We were honored to have members of the U.S. Congress Rep. Madeleine Dean and Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon speak about the importance of protecting our one-vote Democratic majority.
We also had a terrific turnout from the State Representatives we have supported in previous elections, including: Lisa Borowski, Missy Cerrato, Nancy Guenst, Liz Hanbidge, Danielle Friel Otten, and Joe Webster.
Candidates
The Four Districts Project
For the 2026 elections we will be targeting four Pennsylvania districts where the Republicans are most vulnerable. We will provide the Democratic candidates with funds early in the election process so that they can maximize the effectiveness of your donations. In addition -- new this year -- we will assist them directly with campaign planning and expert data-driven guidance.
We believe that the Four Districts Project will be key not only to protect the fragile one-vote Democratic majority but also to increase it -- and thereby safeguard Pennsylvania from the insane laws MAGA extremists want to pass.
The first candidate we are supporting is Elizabeth Moro in District 160.
Elizabeth is a fighter. In 2024 she came within a whisper of victory for this seat. Now she’s back — stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever to deliver real results for the people of her district.
Elizabeth is the youngest of twelve children, a former real estate broker, and the current owner of the beloved Centreville Café in Delaware. She is an unstoppable force of nature — running her business while fielding calls from union leaders, Democratic officials, community members, and neighbors who believe she can help change the direction of our country.
Every Monday, Elizabeth meets voters at the iconic Hank’s Place in Chadds Ford for “Mondays with Moro.” She listens. She learns. She talks with residents about their hopes, their frustrations, and the challenges they face. And she is already working to help them find solutions.
Hank’s Place itself is a story of grit and resilience. After devastating floods in 2021, the restaurant was rebuilt from the ground up—its mugs shaped from flood-borne mud, its floorboards crafted from fallen trees, its structure now lifted on stilts so future storms cannot wash it away.
Elizabeth embodies that same spirit. Like Hank’s Place, she is committed to rebuilding and renewing her community—creating a place where people talk to one another, envision new possibilities, and work together for a future that lifts everyone.
We are proud to support Elizabeth Moro through the Four Districts Project. She represents a new generation of Democratic leadership — resilient, inclusive, and ready to fight for all of us, no matter what storms lie ahead.
Winning Elections
Here are the 17 Pennsylvania State House Representatives who ChangePA has helped to elect and retain since 2017.
Candidate Cohort
In 2020, ChangePA established a “Candidate Cohort” as a meeting place for Pennsylvania State House candidates to get together, discuss their individual races, figure out strategy, and talk with each other about the extremely difficult task of running for office.
During the 2020, 2022, and 2024 election cycles, the Candidate Cohort bi-weekly meetings brought together 10 to 14 candidates, most of whom have been running for office for the first time. They faced the challenges of managing a campaign staff, raising money, crafting a campaign message, determining a field plan, and recruiting and training an army of volunteers. The ChangePA Candidate Cohort provided needed mentorship, support, and training – and a confidential space for campaign questions and concerns.
ChangePA is the only private group in Pennsylvania that focuses solely on flipping and keeping the Pennsylvania State House Democratic. The Candidate Cohort has been one of our biggest successes. It has given us a mechanism to provide candidates not only money but also real mentorship and support when they most need it: during the heat of their campaigns.

Court Stops Pennsylvania Counties From Throwing out Mail-in Votes Over Incorrect Envelope Dates
A state court halted enforcement of a requirement that voters include accurate, handwritten dates on envelopes used to submit mail-in ballots, a ruling likely to keep several thousand Pennsylvania votes from being thrown out in the November election.
