United States midterm election will be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. You might be asking yourself, “What is at stake with this upcoming election?”  All 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be contested.  In addition, 34 of 50 states (including Pennsylvania) will be electing their governors.
