The 2024 Pierce County Executive election took place on November 5, 2024, to elect the county executive of Pierce County, Washington. Incumbent Republican County Executive Bruce Dammeier was term limited and could not seek a third consecutive term. Democratic County Councilman Ryan Mello and Republican State Representative Kelly Chambers ran to succeed him in a campaign that revolved around the high price of housing.[1]
In the primary election, Mello narrowly won first place, receiving 52 percent of the vote to Chambers's 48 percent.[2] He ultimately won the general election by a similar margin, winning 51 percent of the vote and flipping control of the County Executive's office as Democrats won a majority on the County Council.[3]
