US House
of Representatives
All of York County is included in US House District 5. The incumbent is Republican Ralph Norman, who has declared his run for Governor in 2026 and is vacating the seat.
Republican Wes Climer, currently a State Senator from District 15 (central York county), is now running for the seat in the Republican party. He is unopposed, so gets to skip the June 9 Primary and proceed directly to the November 3 General Election (and he will collect far more than $200 🎩). Andy Kaplan is also running from the Forward Party.
