The urban-rural divide remains a defining feature, with cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh leaning left, while rural areas tilt right. Navigating this ideological chasm will be a key challenge for candidates vying for congressional seats.

Year-round organizing from the ground up is a winning strategy in Pennsylvaniaf. This can be done through actions like: phone banking, texting, and writing volunteers and voters; providing remote help to county parties and in-state groups; and  sharing news about the tangible benefits that Democratic policies are delivering to voters.
