PA-AUD: Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D) Announces Run For Auditor General
tate Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D-Philadelphia) has his eyes set on another statewide office and announced his candidacy for Auditor General during a Thursday press conference.
“I’ve traveled all across this commonwealth and I’ve met so many families just like my own,” he said on his website. “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.”
Kenyatta ran an unsuccessful campaign last spring for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat now occupied by John Fetterman.
That run raised the profile of the 32-year-old who is the first openly LGBTQ+ person of color and one of the youngest members elected to the PA General Assembly in 2018.
