Scott Uehlinger (Republican Party) ran for election to the U.S. House to represent Pennsylvania's 9th Congressional District. He lost in the Republican primary on May 15, 2018.

Uehlinger was a district-level delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention from Pennsylvania.[1] All 54 district-level delegates from Pennsylvania were elected directly by voters in the state primary election as unpledged delegates, meaning they were not bound to vote for any specific candidate at the national convention. Pennsylvania’s 14 at-large delegates and its three RNC delegates, however, were bound by the results of the state primary election to support Donald Trump. As of July 13, 2016, Trump had approximately 1,542 delegates. The winner of the Republican nomination needed the support of 1,237 delegates. Trump formally won the nomination on July 19, 2016.

Pennsylvania had 71 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 54 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's 18 congressional districts). According to the Republican National Committee, Pennsylvania's district delegates were "elected on the primary ballot as officially unbound," meaning that these delegates were not required to pledge their support to the winner of the state's primary.[2][3]

Of the remaining 17 delegates, 14 served at large. Pennsylvania's at-large delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the plurality winner of the state's primary received all of the state's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention. The RNC delegates were required to pledge their support to the winner of the state's primary.[2][3]
