Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity is seeking the Republican nomination for governor in the May 19 primary, challenging incumbent Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro. She currently faces no opposition within her party.

Garrity's Unwavering Support for Trump

Stacy Garrity has proudly secured the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, becoming one of ten gubernatorial candidates to receive his backing this year. Her support for Trump has demonstrably grown since launching her campaign eight months ago.

Garrity frequently voices her endorsement of Trump’s political decisions, even those unrelated to her role as the state’s fiscal watchdog. The potential benefits – or risks – of this close alliance remain to be seen.

Political Strategists Weigh In

Some observers question the strategy. “People want to elect somebody who represents them in Pennsylvania, not somebody who is just going to pledge loyalty to the president,” one GOP strategist stated.
