July 1, 2019
My husband and I watched Scranton’s former mayor resign in disgrace after pleading guilty to federal corruption charges, criminal conspiracy, bribery, and attempted extortion. 

August 21, 2019
I announced my Independent campaign for Scranton mayor and against the local Democratic Party’s cronyism. Our campaign was dubbed Paige Against the Machine.

November 5, 2019
I won our historic mayoral campaign, becoming the first female mayor of Scranton after winning a tough election against the local Democratic machine — all while eight months pregnant.

January 6, 2020
Just two weeks after my daughter Sloane was born, I was sworn in as mayor. In the six years since then, we cleaned up City Hall, balanced the books, cut red tape, and brought hundreds of small businesses and over a thousand homes to our neighborhoods.

September 2, 2025
We launched this campaign for Congress to challenge corrupt Rob Bresnahan and restore accountability in NEPA. It somehow feels like a lifetime ago and just yesterday.

May 19, 2026
We advanced to the general election, and I became the official Democratic nominee to take on Rob and his corruption in November. I’m ready to reform Congress the way I reformed Scranton — but I need your help to do it. 

November 3rd, 2026
The day we’re going to win this thing and take the next step to move NEPA forward!

Today, I’m asking you to support my campaign for Congress to represent NEPA by chipping in $25 right away. Our race rating was just upgraded from Lean R to Toss Up, but we’re gearing up for my opponent to pour millions into this race to stop me, and we need to be ready.

I'm Paige Cognetti. I ran for Mayor of Scranton as an independent to reform a corrupt City Hall. Over the past six years I've lowered costs, cut red tape, invested in public safety, brought in hundreds of new businesses, and created jobs. I'm running for Congress in PA-8 to take on a corrupt Washington, because government should work as hard as the people it serves.

If you're with me, join us by chipping in today.
