2024 battleground election

Ballotpedia identified the November 5, general election as a battleground race. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.


Incumbent Timothy DeFoor (R) defeated Malcolm Kenyatta (D) and three other candidates in the general election for Pennsylvania auditor general on November 5, 2024.[2][3]

Pennsylvania's auditor general is responsible for using audits to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent legally and properly by state government entities.

DeFoor earned an associate degree in paralegal studies from Harrisburg Area Community College, a B.A. in sociology and history from the University of Pittsburgh, and an M.S. in project management from Harrisburg University of Science and Technology. He served as Dauphin county controller from 2016 to 2021 and worked as an investigator with the Pennsylvania Office of Inspector General, a special agent for the attorney general of Pennsylvania, and a fraud investigator and internal auditor for federal contractors at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center – Health Plan. DeFoor was the first Republican to hold the auditor general position since 1997.[4]

DeFoor ran on his record. On his website, he said, "While my first term has focused on improving and transforming the office, the next four years will be about finishing what we started and ensuring that our work on behalf of the taxpayers is executed to the highest professional auditing standards. I am committed to doing the job of Auditor General in a non-partisan way, something that I do not take lightly."[5] DeFoor's website said he wanted to "cut wasteful government spending to protect taxpayers and help create a stronger economy that allows businesses to create good paying jobs here in Pennsylvania," and make sure "government is transparent on how it spends and uses taxpayer dollars and making sure the programs created to use them are working."[5]

Kenyatta earned a bachelor's degree from Temple University and a master's from Drexel University. He was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives representing District 181 since 2018 and also ran for re-election in 2024. Previously, Kenyatta worked as a program coordinator at the Graduate Medical Education Department at Hahnemann University Hospital and as the diversity and inclusion engagement coordinator for the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia.[6]

Kenyatta ran on his experience in the House, and his campaign website said he wanted to be auditor general "because it's time for the underdog to become the watchdog for Pennsylvania's working families. I want to ask the tough questions, streamline government operations, and build coalitions to fix what's broken. For over half a decade as a State Representative, I've worked to protect the right to vote, choose, and be protected in the job."[7] As auditor general, Kenyatta said he would restart the annual school compliance audits, create a Bureau of Labor and Worker Protections, and ensure transparency on how large hospital nonprofits and long-term care providers use state dollars.[8][9]

Eric Anton (American Solidarity Party), Alan Goodrich (Constitution Party), and Reece Smith (L) also ran.

In 2020, DeFoor defeated Nina Ahmad (D) 49.4% to 46.4%.[10] In 2020, Pennsylvania had four statewide elections. In other races that year, President Joe Biden (D) defeated former President Donald Trump (R) 50% to 48.8% in the race for president, Josh Shapiro (D) defeated Heather Heidelbaugh (R) 50.9% to 46.3% in the race for attorney general, and Stacy Garrity (R) defeated Joseph Torsella (D) 48.7% to 47.9% in the race for treasurer. The average margin of victory for Pennsylvania's statewide races that year was 2.4 percentage points. In 2016, Eugene DePasquale (D) defeated John Brown (R) 50% to 45%.

Pennsylvania is one of 48 states with an auditor and one of eight states that held an election for auditor in 2024. Republicans held five of the auditor positions up for election in 2024, and Democrats held three.

Campaign website

Kenyatta’s campaign website stated the following:

“

I’ve traveled all across this commonwealth and I’ve met so many families just like my own. Good people, who work their butts off and still the basic bargain of a good school, a good job, and a safe community is out of reach. I know it all too well. We deserve a government that works for working families. That starts with being serious about fixing what’s broken. And it means having an Auditor General who isn’t afraid to stand up for those too often forgotten by our government.

I’m running for Auditor General because it’s time for the underdog to be a watchdog for Pennsylvania’s working families. To ask the tough questions, to help reimagine and streamline government, and to help build the coalitions to fix what’s wrong. It’s what I’ve done as a State Representative for nearly five years, working to protect workers' rights, enact common-sense gun safety policies, and root out government corruption and waste. I’ve had multiple legislative leadership roles: as a member of the powerful State Government Committee with oversight on state agencies and elections, minority Chair of the Subcommittee on Campaign Finance and Elections, minority Chair of Automation and Technology in the Committee on Commerce, and a member of the Finance Committee.

As Auditor General, I will rebuild the Bureau of School Audits, restart the annual compliance audits ended by the current Auditor General, and demand accountability from all our schools — including cyber charter schools.

As Auditor General, I will stand up for our workers by creating the first ever Bureau of Labor and Worker Protections and use the power of the office to take on wage theft, employee misclassification, and union busting. Every worker deserves a decent wage and the right to unionize. I’ll also protect pension funds by ensuring they are properly funded and managed.

As Auditor General, I will use the office to measure and support efforts to make communities healthier and safer. We need transparency on how huge hospital nonprofits and long term care providers use state dollars. We need to analyze our approach to community safety and gun violence reduction to target investments in the things that really work to reduce crime, particularly gun crimes.

Folks in every corner of Pennsylvania have welcomed me into their neighborhoods, their homes and their faith communities. They’ve told me their stories and I’ve shared my own. In those conversations we’ve talked about Pennsylvania’s problems, but also its promise. Young people born today will live into the next century. What we do now and how we do it will determine the inheritance we leave.[14]

Expand all | Collapse all

I'm North Philly through-and-through. I grew up here and never left. I believe that North Philly's best days are ahead. We can make a difference and together we can unleash the possibilities for a better North Philly.

  • Poverty is not only a public health crisis, it is the moral issue of our time.
  • Everyone has the right to love whomever they choose. We must always pushback against hate and bigotry in our fight for equal rights in the LGBTQ communities across our state.
  • Our children deserve a school system that is equitable. Not only are a large number of our students in the Commonwealth attending schools without the necessary materials and resources to succeed, but many also are not safe from the violence and bullying that can have devastating consequences.

Mental healthcare for our children, criminal justice reform, preventing gun violence, environmental justice, access to affordable healthcare, and ending intergenerational poverty.

Integrity and accountability.

To give a voice and fight for those that might not have one and to lift those on the margins.

To have done the work that uplifts my home community and others like it.

Passing the Equality Act and ensuring schooling is equitable across the entire state.

Absolutely. While I represent my district, bills I support affect all Pennsylvanians. I think it is critical we come together and represent all without leaving anyone behind.

Ernie Chambers, State Senator in Nebraska, shared a sentiment on governing that resonates with me every day as a legislator. "We can not forget about the least, the lost and the left behind."

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Pennsylvania

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
