With all FEC reports now in, we take a look at the results for every congressional district.
2016’s second quarter runs from July 1st, 2016 to September 30th, 2016.
Below we’ve included the top-line numbers for every district in the commonwealth, which includes the amounts raised, spent, and current cash on hand. Also, each incumbent is identified in italics along with their PVI and the year they were first sworn into Congress.

COH: $380,524

Link: http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/850/201610119032244850/201610119032244850.pdf

COH: $1,144,327
Link: http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/655/201610159032539655/201610159032539655.pdf

Mike Parrish

COH: $106,764
Link: http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/994/201610169032879994/201610169032879994.pdf

COH: $2,414,541
Link: http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/784/201610149032521784/201610149032521784.pdf
An incumbent in a competitive seat with a terrible opponent will lead to the massive cash on hand total you see above.

Spent: $45,447
COH: $50,448
Link: http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/120/201610159032826120/201610159032826120.pdf

Link: http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/007/201610149032485007/201610149032485007.pdf
Fitzpatrick gave $600,000 to the state GOP, so safe to say he doesn’t have to give Brian a Christmas gift this year.

COH: $770,752
Link: http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/171/201610149032507171/201610149032507171.pdf

COH: $42,503
Link: http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/313/201610159032550313/201610159032550313.pdf

COH: $1,439,848

Link: http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/174/201610159032874174/201610159032874174.pdf
This is a seat that is more partisan than its PVI score would indicate, meaning Cartwright can spread his cash around to fellow Democrats.
PA-18
Rep. Tim Murphy-R+10-2003
Raised: $147,555
Spent: $132,101

Remove Chaka from this story since he’s no longer a candidate or a member of Congress. You should be asking where the filing for Republican James Jones is.
Fattah is awaiting sentencing, not charges.
Why is Rothfus spending anything in the 12th? He knows that we put a rat into the enemies camp and we are calling the shots there. Okay, the rat is pretty dumb but there is no need to waste a million bucks on a runaway race. My cousin Stevie Z has campaign debt from the A.G. Race and we were counting on Rothfus to retire it. If we have to dig into our own pockets, then he can find his own way out of the next t pike snowstorm.
Trump is a sexual predator, liar, and LOSER.
Smucker is literally going to lose. I can’t believe it. He reported more than half a million dollars in debt! I don’t understand how a sitting state Senator in a relatively red (R+4) district is having this much trouble. And to make matters worse he’s in a lose-lose situation regarding his support or non-support of Trump.
