Current Representative Lou Barletta (RHazleton)
Cook PVI R+6[1]

Pennsylvania's 11th congressional district is in the east-central part of the state. The district was substantially redrawn after the 2012 redistricting.

Republican Lou Barletta has represented the district since 2011, the first Republican to do so in almost 30 years.

From 2003 to 2013 it included Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton and most of the Poconos. It was once considered a very safe Democratic seat but has become more competitive in recent years. Former longtime Democratic incumbent Paul Kanjorski faced his closest contest ever in 2008, narrowly defeating Lou Barletta, the Republican mayor of Hazleton, 138,849 to 129,358.[2] In 2010, Kanjorski fell victim to a GOP and anti-incumbent wave and was unseated by Barletta in a 45%–55% vote.[3]
