Receipts, cash on hand, and outside (independent-expenditure) spending from the Federal Election Commission. Bars are scaled within this race. Safe-R north-central PA seat. Incumbent Republican Dan Meuser (declined a 2026 gubernatorial run, sought re-election) ran unopposed in the primary; faces Democrat Rachel Wallace, who also ran unopposed. The field and its fundraising will keep updating as primaries settle and new FEC reports land.
The rating is grounded in this seat’s record on Akashic — its partisan lean, same-office history, and demographics. Read the full profile on the PA-09 place page.
