The 2023 Allegheny County Executive election was held on November 7, 2023, to elect the next chief executive of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
The incumbent county executive, Rich Fitzgerald, was ineligible to run for a fourth consecutive term due to term limits. [1] The 2023 election was thus the first open seat race for county executive since Fitzgerald was elected in 2011, [2] and the winner would become the fourth individual to hold the position of county executive since it was established under the home-rule charter in 2000, following Jim Roddey, Dan Onorato, and Fitzgerald. [3]
The primary election was held on May 16. [1] State representative Sara Innamorato won the Democratic primary, while businessman Joe Rockey was unopposed in the Republican primary. [4] Innamorato's nomination was seen as a major victory for the progressive movement in Allegheny County, continuing a trend that includes the election of Ed Gainey as mayor of Pittsburgh in 2021 and Summer Lee to the U.S. House in 2022. [5] However, it was also an unexpectedly close result, with Innamorato's margin of 2.6% vastly underperforming Fitzgerald's 2019 margin of 36.5%. [6]
