2024 battleground election
Ballotpedia identified the November 5, 2024, general election as a battleground race. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here. Ryan Mackenzie (R) defeated incumbent Susan Wild (D) in the general election for Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District on November 5, 2024.
In 2022, Wild defeated Lisa Scheller (R) 51.0%-49.0% in what was the most expensive House race in the state, according to the Federal Election Commission.[1] Both parties targeted the district, which media outlets including CNN and The Pennsylvania Capital-Star called a Pennsylvania bellwether.[3][4] The National Republican Congressional Committee included the seat on their list of 37 target seats. To read about NRCC targeting initiatives, click here.[5] The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee also included Wild in the Frontline Program for vulnerable incumbents.[6] For a full list of incumbents who received support through the program, click here.
Wild was elected to Congress in 2018. Before holding elected office, she served as solicitor for Allentown, Pennsylvania. Wild ran on her record in Congress and said her legislative priorities included "lowering prescription drug prices, expanding Medicare, supporting labor and education, addressing the climate crisis, and supporting PA-07’s thriving manufacturing sector, to continue to grow PA-07's economy to bring more good-paying jobs to our community."[7]
Mackenzie was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 2012. Mackenzie ran on his record in the state house and said he supported America First policies, a term often associated with former President Donald Trump (R) and his platform. On his campaign website, Mackenzie said, "America is on the wrong track and the politicians in Washington are only making it worse with crippling inflation, open borders, rising crime, and their political games – all while we struggle in the real world. My goal for Congress is simple: make government work for you again and focus on the priorities that will help us the most right away.”[8]
Based on third-quarter reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, Wild raised $8.2 million and spent $7.5 million, and Mackenzie raised $1.5 million and spent $1.2 million. To review all the campaign finance figures in full detail, click here.
As of October 30, 2024, four major election forecasters differed in their ratings for the general election, with forecasts ranging from Likely Democratic to toss-up.
All 435 U.S. House seats were up for election in 2024. At the time of the election, Republicans had a 220 to 212 majority with three vacancies.[9] Forty-five members of the U.S. House did not run for re-election. To read more about the 2024 U.S. House elections, click here.

- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[14]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[15][16][17]

Susan Wild participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on March 29, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Susan Wild's responses follow below.[18]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Protecting Social Security and Medicare 2) Providing affordable health care for all Pennsylvanians |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | As an attorney of 35 years, I've spent my life fighting for families and against corruption that hurts everyday people. I think by getting the dark money out of politics through campaign finance reform, we can put more political power — and give more of a voice — back to the everyday Americans who currently feel so alienated from our political process.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[20]

Campaign website
Wild’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Quality Jobs and Economic Prosperity It’s often said that World War II was won right here in the Lehigh Valley — thanks to the tireless work of Pennsylvania’s men and women who produced the steel that transported and protected the allied troops around the world. In the decades since, the economy may have changed, but the grit, determination, and hard work I see every day in our communities has not. Today, anyone who is willing to work should have the chance to, and our political leaders have a responsibility to ensure Pennsylvanians benefit from the country’s economic growth. I’m dedicated to bringing stable, high-paying jobs to our district. Here’s my plan:
Increase federal spending on infrastructure. When we invest tax dollars in infrastructure, it’s an investment in our people, too — promoting economic growth while creating new construction and manufacturing jobs for Pennsylvanians.
Protecting Medicare and Social Security Medicare and Social Security are our nation’s solemn promises to our seniors — work hard, play by the rules, and we will make sure you get the health care and retirement security that you earned. Unfortunately, Republicans in Congress don’t see it that way; even though you worked for those paychecks and paid your fair share into the system, Republicans view these earned benefits as entitlements that are theirs to slash and use to fund tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich. We can’t let that happen. The federal government absolutely must live up to its end of the bargain on retirement benefits. Here’s my plan:
Health Care for All Health care is a right, not a privilege. Pennsylvanians of every background and income level deserve access to high-quality health care. Period. I don't believe your health insurance should be tied to your job. Employer-sponsored health insurance plans are a drain on employers, entrepreneurship, and often cause employees’ wages to be lower. We need to work toward a single-payer health care system, and in the meantime, have a public option available. Small and mid-sized employers cannot afford the increasing costs of health insurance as well as higher wages, and employees, too, are bearing a higher percentage of their health insurance costs every year, further lowering their net income. Growing up in a military household, I was lucky enough to have access to government health care at a young age; when I was sick, I simply saw a doctor and got treated. But far too many Americans — and thousands of residents in the 7th Congressional District — aren’t as fortunate. And that’s unacceptable. In the wealthiest nation on earth, no citizen should have to take on a second job, risk bankruptcy, or make a choice between putting food on the table and paying for health care. There is a better way. We must:
Opiod Epidemic The facts are chilling: Our state is home to the country’s fourth-highest rate of drug overdose deaths. Of the nearly 5,000 drug overdose deaths in 2016, close to 85 percent involved opioids. And for every person lost to this epidemic, it not only affects their friends and family but their whole community — from businesses and the economy to schools and our health care system. Addressing — and solving — this crisis requires (1) recognizing that drug abuse is a medical problem, not a criminal problem, and (2) proactively providing communities with the resources they need to effectively combat it.
LGBTQ+ Issues It’s this simple — members of the LGBTQ+ community deserve the same rights and equality under the law as all other Americans, period. The U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which ruled that same-sex couples have the fundamental right to marry, was a watershed moment in the battle for gay rights; but as we know from the civil rights and women’s movements before it, we can’t rest there. To achieve — and protect — true equality for LGBTQ+ Americans, we need to fight all types of institutionalized discrimination, whether in schools, the workplace, or anywhere else in our communities.
Defending the Environment Environmental conservation used to be a bipartisan issue — from the days of Teddy Roosevelt’s Antiquities Act right through Richard Nixon creating the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and signing into law the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. But for the past 20 years, Republicans in Congress have unleashed an assault on our environment in which attacking the scientific consensus of climate change is just the start. This must end, and I will be a leading voice in Congress to defend our environment.
Protect our natural resources. Climate Change and the greed of Big Oil are decimating our remaining natural wonders and seashores. I will vote against further attempts to ruin our National Parks, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and offshore areas.
Criminal Justice Reform When the United States has less than 5 percent of the world’s population, but houses nearly one-quarter of the world’s prisoners, the system isn’t working. A country with our level of prosperity has no business having the highest incarceration rate in the world; our broken criminal justice system disproportionately affects minorities and poor communities, and is a burden on our whole society. There are simple, bipartisan approaches we can take to reform our criminal justice system to make our communities safer, make our laws fairer, and save lives in the process:
Campaign Finance Reform I am proud to have taken a "No Corporate PAC Money" pledge. I believe people should decide elections, not corporate money. When dark money infects a political system, the consequences for democracy are devastating — civil society is eroded and powerful corporations go unchecked while citizens who actually make up the democracy are left behind. Consider, for example, that over the past decade, Big Pharma invested $2.5 billion in lobbying and campaign contributions, deploying two lobbyists for every member of Congress. Sadly, but not surprisingly, it worked — we continue to see skyrocketing drug prices and a surging opioid epidemic. The days of legalized corruption and quid-pro-quo campaign financing must end. In Congress, I will co-sign any legislation that removes the grip dark money has on our electoral and legislative process. Here’s where we can start:
Women's Issues & Reproductive Rights Standing up for women’s issues is one of the core principles of my campaign. I was recruited to run for this seat, and later endorsed by, EMILY’s List, the nation’s leading political action committee focused on electing pro-choice Democratic female candidates. As the only female candidate — out of the eight Republicans and Democrats — on the 7th District’s primary ballot this May, I do not take my role as an advocate and defender of women lightly. From the right to have control over what a woman does with her body, to equal rights and protection in the workplace, I will always — always — be an advocate for women:
Stand up for women’s health at every turn. Every Democrat must also beat back any and all attempts by Republicans to defund women’s health clinics. Every woman should be able to receive effective, affordable care when she needs it — especially women with lower incomes, in rural areas with less access to care, and those who otherwise find themselves vulnerable.
A statement of support for my campaign by EMILY’s List President Stephanie Schriock: “Susan Wild is a life-long champion for women and families. Susan has dedicated her life to serving her community and during her legal career she has focused on fighting for justice and fairness. As solicitor for the city of Allentown, she was a champion for transparency and accountability – never forgetting that she was there to serve the public. The families of Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District deserve a representative who will fight for them, and Susan will do just that. This open seat is an opportunity for new leadership in the Lehigh Valley. Susan Wild will fight to ensure access to health care for all working families and economic policies that don’t mortgage our future just to give big tax breaks to corporations. Susan Wild is exactly the type of leader we need to stand up to Republicans in Washington and EMILY’s List is proud to endorse her candidacy.” Immigration In 2019, the new Congress must swiftly act to create a genuine, bipartisan plan for addressing our country’s broken immigration system. As your Representative, I won’t be deterred by partisan hysteria over immigration. Sensible and reasonable immigration policies will make our country safer and boost our economy. My guidepost on this issue will always be ensuring that we remain a beacon of hope, compassion, and opportunity, through sound, workable policy solutions.
Education Education is an investment in the future, and government should treat it that way — whether it’s in the way we pay and support our teachers, how we fund public education, or how we help more students get access to quality, affordable higher education. Fighting For Families means valuing education for every teacher and every student, no matter which zip code you live in. The following are some details on how I’d like to see us reach that goal:
Supporting Our Veterans As the daughter of a man who spent his career in the United States Air Force, I know first hand that supporting our veterans with world-class health care, strong pension benefits, and the tools to smoothly transition to civilian life are just as important as — and critical to — ensuring that we continue to have the strongest military in the world. In the United States, those who’ve put themselves in harm’s way to protect their fellow Americans should never be without the care and support they need. Here’s my plan:
