Langerholc initially expected to face five-term Democratic incumbent John Wozniak, but Wozniak retired just three months before the election.[3] Wozniak was replaced on the ballot by Cambria County controller Ed Cernic.

Langerholc benefited from the presence of Donald Trump atop the ballot, who carried the district with a 71 percent of the vote, his second-best showing in the state.[4]
