Garrity became the first Republican treasurer to win re-election since Barbara Hafer in 2000. Her win set the record for the most votes cast for any candidate in commonwealth history. She carried Centre, Dauphin, and Lehigh counties, all of which Kamala Harris carried in the concurrent presidential election. This was the first Treasurer election to hold a contested primary for either major party since 1992.
