The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Pennsylvania were held on November 8, 2022, to elect representatives for the seventeen seats in Pennsylvania (reduced from 18 in the redistricting cycle following the 2020 United States census).
Pennsylvania's legislature enacted new district maps in January 2022, which were promptly vetoed by Governor Tom Wolf. The state supreme court took control of the process and selected a map in February 2022. After the court rejected several legal challenges in March, the new district boundaries were used in the May 2022 primary elections.[1][2]
Democrats won the majority of seats in the state for the first time since 2008. The state (along with Nevada) were the two states in 2022 where the party that won a majority of seats did not win a majority of popular votes. However, not every seat was contested in Pennsylvania.
