2021 Erie County, Pennsylvania Executive election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2021 Erie County Executive election was held on November 2, 2021. Incumbent Democratic County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper declined to run for re-election to a third term. Tyler Titus, the President of the Erie City School District, and the first openly transgender person elected to office in Pennsylvania,[1] narrowly won the Democratic primary to succeed Dahlkemper. In the general election, Titus faced the Republican nominee, Brenton Davis, the owner of a construction company and an unsuccessful candidate for County Executive in 2017. Davis narrowly defeated Titus, winning 52–48 percent, becoming the first Republican elected County Executive since 2001.[2]
