2024 Pennsylvania Auditor General election
The 2024 Pennsylvania Auditor General election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the Pennsylvania auditor general. Incumbent one-term Republican auditor general Timothy DeFoor won reelection defeating Malcolm Kenyatta. The Associated Press called the election for DeFoor at 3:18am on November 6.
Defoor's re-election victory was contributed to his strong performance in conservative-rural areas, and overperforming Donald Trump's margins in the Philadelphia suburbs. He became the first Republican auditor general to win re-election in modern history. Some pundits expected a slightly closer race, the outcome became a roughly a six point margin.
