The Capital-Star’s 2022 Pa. incumbent retirement and primary tracker

*Last updated 7/19/22

With the 2022 elections on the horizon, tracking legislative turnover amid changing lines, double-bunked incumbents, and retirements is difficult. But the Capital-Star will attempt to track these potential changes over the coming months.

The House and Senate maps were approved in their final form Feb. 5, and the state Supreme Court said the maps are constitutional Mar. 16. These lines drew 26 lawmakers in with each other, however many of those matchups have been resolved by retirements.

Below are the 38 state legislators who have so far said they will not run for reelection, and the six who still face a colleague to return to Harrisburg next year.
