The incumbent county executive, Rich Fitzgerald, was ineligible to run for a fourth consecutive term due to term limits.[1] The 2023 election was thus the first open seat race for county executive since Fitzgerald was elected in 2011,[2] and the winner would become the fourth individual to hold the position of county executive since it was established under the home-rule charter in 2000, following Jim Roddey, Dan Onorato, and Fitzgerald.[3]
The primary election was held on May 16.[1] State representative Sara Innamorato won the Democratic primary, while businessman Joe Rockey was unopposed in the Republican primary.[4] Innamorato's nomination was seen as a major victory for the progressive movement in Allegheny County, continuing a trend that includes the election of Ed Gainey as mayor of Pittsburgh in 2021 and Summer Lee to the U.S. House in 2022.[5] However, it was also an unexpectedly close result, with Innamorato's margin of 2.6% vastly underperforming Fitzgerald's 2019 margin of 36.5%.[6]
