Cognetti, the mayor of Scranton, clinched the district running on an anti-corruption message, marking a key pickup for Democrats — who need to flip three GOP-held seats to win control of the House.

Republicans flipped the district in 2024, as Bresnahan knocked off longtime Democratic Rep. Matt Cartwright.
