More updates are provided from Tuesday’s primary, while Gov. Tom Wolf is set to announce that more counties can join the green phase. Here is the Playbook.

DCCC Announces Multi-Million Dollar Ad Buy in PA: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced that it plans to spend $1 million in the Harrisburg media market, $910,000 for the Philadelphia media market, and $400,000 for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton market.

PoliticsPA: 2020 Primary Results Wednesday Playbook: The latest on every contested primary in PA: races that are over, races where a candidate leads, and races that are still tossups. 3 incumbents lost, another 5 trail.

Primary Election Update: 

Lamb and Ahmad Lead in Dem Auditor General Race: As more results trickle in, Pittsburgh City Controller Michael Lamb holds a six point lead over former Philadelphia Deputy Mayor Nina Ahmad in the six candidate primary. But his lead is shrinking. If Ahmad’s performance in outstanding eastern PA mail ballots matches her performance in those counties so far, she will probably have the numbers to win. 

LEADER CHANGE: PA9 Dem: Gary Wegman has taken a 5,000 plus vote lead, 13%, over Laura Quick in the race to face Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Luzerne). On Thursday, Quick held a slight lead over Wegman. 

LEADER: PA10 Dem: Some mail, all in-person. Eugene DePasquale, the state’s Auditor General, maintains a 9,700 vote lead over Tom Brier, an attorney and author. All votes including in-person are in for York County, DePasquale’s base where he netted 13K votes. Mail ballots are outstanding in Cumberland County (where they split) and Dauphin County (where Brier doubled Deep and netted 3,600 votes). It’s a long shot for Brier, but he has an outside shot to catch the DCCC’s favorite in the race and certainly exceeded expectations. The winner of this race will take on Rep. Scott Perry (R-York) in November in national Dems’ top PA target. 

LEADER: SD9 Dem: Some mail, some in-person. John Kane, business manager for Plumbers Union Local 690, holds a 14 point lead over Brett Burman, a former healthcare executive. The winner of this race will face state Sen. Tom Killion (R-Delaware), who ran unopposed in the GOP primary, in the fall in Dems’ top pickup opportunity. 

INCUMBENT TRAILS: SD17 Dem: Some mail, some in-person. Amanda Cappelletti, Vice-Chair of the East Norriton Board of Supervisors, holds a 24 point lead over embattled state Sen. Daylin Leach (D-Montgomery). Delaware County has some in-person ballots and some mail; Montco has some in-person but no mail.  The winner of this race will take on Ellen Fisher in the general election.

LEADER: SD31 Dem: Some mail, all in-person: Shanna Danielson leads Rick Coplen and Josh Bosha in the Democratic primary. It is unclear how many of the mail-in votes still need to be counted. The winner of this race will take on state Sen. Mike Regan (R-York) in the fall.  

LEADER: SD49 Dem: No mail, all in-person. Julie Slomksi leads Andre Horton in the Democratic primary. The winner of this race will take on state Sen. Dan Laughlin (R-Erie) in the fall. 

INCUMBENT LEAD SHRINKS: HD22 Dem: Some mail, all in-person. This is a nail biter. State Rep. Peter Schweyer (D-Lehigh) leads Enid Santiago by 82 votes, which is slightly less than 2%, in this majority Latino district, according to county website results. On Thursday morning, Schweyer held a 178 vote advantage in the race. All of the in-person ballots have been counted, while it appears some mail-in ballots have been counted.

INCUMBENT TRAILS: HD39 GOP: Some mail, all in-person. State Rep. Michael Puskaric (R-Allegheny) is losing to challenger Tom Kirsch by just 111 votes. HOWEVER, the only outstanding votes are mail ballots from Washington Co. The in-person sliver of the county gave Puskaric 79% of the vote and a 640, so a comeback is more than possible for the incumbent. This is a grudge match for the old Saccone seat; the former State Rep. backed Kirsch. The winner of this race will go up against Democrat Sara-Summer Oliphant in the fall. 

LEADER: HD75 GOP: Mike Armanini holds a 3 point lead over Lisa Becker in the three candidate race to succeed state Rep. Matt Gabler (R-Clearfield). The winner will face Democrat Ryan Grimm in the fall for the GOP friendly district. 

LEADER: HD87 Dem: Some mail, all in-person. Nicole Miller leads the way in the primary over Sean Quinlan and Heather MacDonald. The winner of this race will attempt to unseat state Rep. Greg Rothman (R-Cumberland) in the fall. 

LEADER: HD106 GOP: Some mail, all in-person. State Rep. Thomas Mehaffie (R-Dauphin) leads Chris Lupp and Mimi Legro in the primary. The winner of this race will face Democrat Lindsay Drew. 

LEADER: HD127 GOP: Vincent Gagliardo Jr. holds a slim lead over Branden Moyer in the primary. The winner of this race will face Democrat Manuel Guzman. The seat is held by state Rep. Thomas Caltagirone (D-Berks), who is retiring at the end of his current term. 

LEADER: HD138 GOP: Ann Flood leads Tony Tarsi in the primary to succeed retiring state Rep. Marcia Hahn (R-Northampton). The winner of the primary will take on Democrat Tara Zrinski in the fall. 

LEADER: HD159 Dem: Some mail, some in-person. Incumbent state Rep. Brian Kirkland looks safe in this Delco district against challenger Angela Renee Prattis. The winner will face Republican Ruth Moton.

LEADER: HD160 Dem: Anton Andrew extends his lead over Catherine Spahr in the Democratic primary. The winner of this matchup will face Republican Craig Williams, who ran unopposed in the GOP primary. The race is to succeed retiring state Rep. Stephen Barrar (R-Delaware). 

INCUMBENT GAINS: HD166 Dem: Some mail, some in-person. State Rep. Greg Vitali leads challenger Jennifer Leith by 20 points, adding on to his 14 point lead on Thursday morning. The Republican candidate is Christine Boyle. 

LEADER: HD168 Dem: Some mail, some in-person. Incumbent Rep. Christopher Quinn (R-Delco) kept his seat in 2018 in one of PA’s narrowest state House margins. This year it looks like he’ll face veteran and businesswoman Deb Ciamacca, who currently leads Brittany Forman. 

INCUMBENT LEADS: HD175 Dem: State Rep. Mary Isaacson (D-Philadelphia) holds a 443 vote lead, 8%, over Vanessa McGrath, Jeff Dempsey, and Andre Del Valle in the four candidate primary among in-person votes. The mail-in ballots will determine the outcome. 

INCUMBENT LEAD: HD182 Dem: State Rep. Brian Sims (D-Philadelphia) leads challenger Marisa Shaaban by 477 votes, 8%, with all of the in-person votes accounted for, while the mail-in votes are still coming in. Sims trailed Shaaban as of Tuesday morning and regained the lead on Wednesday. The GOP candidate in this safe Dem district is Drew Murray. 

INCUMBENT TRAILS: HD188 Dem: Rick Krajewski holds a 396 vote lead, 6%, over state Rep. James Roebuck Jr. (D-Philadelphia) in the four candidate primary. 

TOSSUP: HD198 Dem: Supreme Dow and Bernard Williams are locked at 26% each, with just 2 votes separating the two as of Friday morning, in the primary over Fareed Abdullah and Darisha Parker for the seat held by outgoing state Rep. Rosita Youngblood (D-Philadelphia). The margin between first and last place is also slim.
