Daniel Truitt is an American politician and engineer, and member of the Libertarian Party.[3] In 2010, while a member of the Republican Party, he was elected to represent the Chester County-based 156th District in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, defeating Democratic incumbent Rep. Barbara McIlvaine Smith. He was in turn defeated in his 2016 bid for re-election by West Chester Mayor Carolyn Comitta, another Democrat.[4]
Truitt left the GOP and joined the Libertarian Party in 2018, and, in April 2022, became the chairman of the Chester County Libertarian Party.[5]
