Cristian Luna is running against John Lawrence (R, incumbent).
Luna is the first Latino to ever run for PA House District 13, a southern Chester County seat. In 2024, he lost to incumbent Republican John Lawrence 41.9% to 58%, but the race was closely watched as one that could swing power of the PA state House. Chester County has trended blue in recent years, and HD-13 remains one of the last Republican-held seats in the county.
Luna raised $281,962 for his 2024 campaign against Lawrence. Endorsed by Latino Victory Fund, Run for Something, Planned Parenthood PA Advocates PAC, Conservation Voters of PA, Progressive Turnout Project, and Everytown for Gun Safety. The Chester Water Authority dispute was the top constituent concern in southern Chester County.
Key dates to watch: Primary on May 19, 2026 and General Election on November 3, 2026.
