In the May 2026 Primary Election, there is only one contested race: Republican State Committee. In all other Republican races, Republicans have chosen not to run against each other. Therefore, on your ballot, there is one Republican running in each of the following races, and the individual running has been recommended by either the Pennsylvania Republican State Committee or the Bucks County Republican Committee:
Governor ... Stacy Garrity
Lt. Governor ... Jason Richey
U.S. Congress ... Brian Fitzpatrick
PA State Senate ... Greg Bankos
Following is the layout on the back of your ballot for REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE - the organization that is essentially the board of directors for the state GOP, much like the Republican National Committee is for the nation. Bucks County is allotted eighteen (18) seats on the State Committee, which is divided between nine (9) men and nine (9) women. The Bucks County Republican Committee, of which your local Upper Makefield Republican Committee is a part, has recommended the 9 men and 9 women highlighted below, all of whom are dedicated Republicans with a track-record of hard work volunteering to elect Republican candidates. The candidates whose names are not highlighted are not recommended for election to State Committee.
Special shout-out to Upper Makefield's own Colleen Strunk who is a long-time, tireless dedicated volunteer for our party!
