Pennsylvania GOP sweeps statewide row offices; Thompson, Meuser retain Congressional seats

Harrisburg, Pa. — The Pennsylvania GOP swept the statewide row office contests, maintained the majority of the state Senate, and may have swung control of the State House in the 2024 General Election.

A snapshot of unofficial statewide election results is as follows:

Attorney General: York County District Attorney Dave Sunday (R) defeated former state Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, 51-46.

Auditor General: Incumbent Tim DeFoor secured reelection with a 51-46 win over state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta.

State Treasurer: Incumbent Stacy Garrity secured a second term with a 52-44 victory over Democrat Erin McClelland.

Voters of Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District overwhelmingly supported Congressman Glenn "GT" Thompson for reelection to the U.S. House of Representatives. He was joined by friends, family, and supporters on election night at the Nittany Lion Inn in State College.

Lending thanks to volunteers and supporters, Thompson released the following statement:

"This election was about hard work, determination, and providing the voters a clear vision for the road ahead.

"From Kittanning to Selinsgrove, from Warren to State College, and every town and municipality in between, the hardworking families of Pennsylvania recognize this election has been a choice between higher prices and handouts or unlocking America's true economic potential," Thompson said.

Congressman Dan Meuser was declared the winner for Pennsylvania's Ninth Congressional District. Meuser has been re-elected to his fourth term in Congress.

"In Washington, my priority remains pursuing legislation that is in the best interest of the vast majority of Americans—including growing our economy, securing our border, promoting American energy dominance, and restoring peace through strength," Meuser said in a statement. "I'll continue working to advance common-sense solutions that strengthen our economy, create jobs, make the cost-of-living more affordable, and keep our communities safe."

The battle for U.S. Senate is perhaps the tightest in the commonwealth, with Republican Dave McCormick in a slight lead over incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. early Wednesday.

Governor Josh Shapiro and Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt held a media briefing in Harrisburg after polling locations closed across Pennsylvania. They reported high turnout with only isolated issues in a few counties that included bomb threats at polling places. Shapiro said none of those threats were credible.
