Brandon Dukes

Representative-elect Brandon Dukes is running for a full term in the Pennsylvania House after a recent, history-making special election win in a district Trump carried by 18 points in 2024. Brandon, a Cranberry Township resident, has spent the past 16 years in the financial industry and has seen the challenges families and small businesses face, from the rising cost of living to access to health care to infrastructure. He understands the importance of investing in Pennsylvania communities and is ready to fight to bring critical funding to his district as he works to build a brighter future for all Pennsylvanians.

Brandon won an August special election to represent District 12 by less than 100 votes. Now, he’s back with the support of the DLCC to defend his district and help Democrats expand their majority in the Pennsylvania House.

2026 is a historic opportunity to build power in Pennsylvania by defending our House majority and picking up Senate seats in this key battleground state. After several cycles of hard-fought gains, DLCC is committed to winning and defending Democratic power in Pennsylvania.

Our work this year begins with defending and expanding our majority in the Pennsylvania House, which the DLCC and state Democrats flipped in 2022 and have defended ever since..

We’re also working to gain ground in the Senate, where half of the seats are on the ballot this year. With the legislature under split control, the Pennsylvania Senate GOP majority has rubber-stamped Trump’s disastrous agenda and blocked Democrats from advancing solutions for working families at every opportunity.
