Henry Conoly (G)
Investment in regenerative farming and sustainable farming techniques
Implementing the groundwork for the Green New Deal (GND)
Ashley Ehasz (D)
Growing up in a single parent household without stable income, Ashley knows what it’s like to not have enough for groceries or paying the heating bill. That is why Ashley supports paid family leave, raising the minimum wage to $15/hour, and expanding the Affordable Care Act, because no American should choose between paying for groceries, doctors bills, or childcare.
As a combat veteran, Ashley supports the second amendment, but also understands that gun violence is a public health crisis in America. She supports enacting universal background checks to ensure that those purchasing firearms do not pose a risk to themselves or others in our community, and demands that we hold gun manufacturers accountable, pass red flag laws, and ban assault rifles.
Henry Conoly (G)
Investment in regenerative farming and sustainable farming techniques Investment in community composting initiatives and education on composting Implementing the groundwork for the Green New Deal (GND) Sweeping criminal justice and police reform including community control of the police force Legalization of marijuana, including the release of non-violent offenders and expungement of records
Ashley Ehasz (D)
Additionally, I am deeply concerned about the existential threat climate change poses not only for future generations, but for us now. Too many families are losing their homes to flooding or drinking contaminated water. The degradation of our environment is a national security threat. We are falling behind other countries in developing green technology and infrastructure, and conflict over natural resources, such as water, is likely to increase in the next few years. Our country has only become more expensive to live in, and yet the minimum wage still sits at $7.25/hour. The only reason myself and other veterans can afford to buy our first home is through the VA loan, but for so many young Americans, we are still paid too little while the cost of living gets higher. My community deserves a representative in Congress who will fight to protect the union way of life, to lower the cost of healthcare and prescriptions, and to ensure everyone can afford to live with dignity.

General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[4]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[5][6][7]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Pennsylvania in 2022. Information below was calculated on May 9, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Forty-eight candidates filed to run for Pennsylvania’s 17 U.S. House districts, including 23 Democrats and 25 Republicans. That’s 2.82 candidates per district, slightly less than the 2.83 candidates per district in 2020, and less than the 4.66 in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census, which resulted in Pennsylvania losing one U.S. House district. The 48 candidates who ran this year were the lowest number of candidates running for Pennsylvania's U.S. House seats since 2016, when a total of 44 candidates filed.
Two seats — the 12th and the 17th — were open, meaning no incumbents filed to run. That’s two more than in 2020, when there were no open seats. There were seven open seats in 2018, two in both 2016 and 2014, and no open seats in 2012.
Rep. Fred Keller (R), who represented the 12th district, retired, and Rep. Conor Lamb (D), who represented the 17th district, ran for the U.S. Senate. Six candidates — one Republican and five Democrats — ran in the 12th district, the most running for one seat this year. Five candidates — three Republicans and two Democrats — ran in the 17th district.
There were five contested Democratic primaries this year, the lowest number since 2016. There were six contested Republican primaries, one more than in 2020, but two less than in 2018.
There were 13 districts where incumbents did not face primary challengers. One district — the 3rd — was guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed. Two districts — the 13th and the 14th — were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed.
Presidential elections
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was EVEN. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were about the same as the national average. This made Pennsylvania's 1st the 223rd most Republican district nationally.[10]
