These are races to watch in Pennsylvania's Democratic primary

This election year will usher in a showdown over the post of Pennsylvania governor and pitched battles for several commonwealth congressional seats that could tilt the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives.

For the most part, these battles will play out in the general election, as Gov. Josh Shapiro tries to fend off a Republican challenger, Treasurer Stacy Garrity, and both parties feud over congressional districts. But the May 19 primary will still settle contests in several key races.

The drama is primarily on the Democratic side, as the party selects nominees to replace an outgoing congressman and take on vulnerable GOP representatives.

Here are a few Pennsylvania races you might want to watch on primary night.
