About Brian

Brian Wrightson is a lifelong Northeastern Pennsylvanian, small business owner, and public servant running this fall to flip a seat in the Pennsylvania Senate. Brian has experience in emergency management, broadband infrastructure, and economic development. Through his work expanding rural high-speed internet access and modernizing communications systems, Brian has helped connect families, small businesses, and first responders across his region while bringing opportunity to communities too often left behind.

Decades of Republican mismanagement in the Pennsylvania Senate have taken their toll on Brian’s district. Now, Brian and his community are ready for change in Harrisburg. He’s stepping up to ensure they receive fair representation and help Democrats expand their power in the Pennsylvania Senate.

Pennsylvania

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.
