Kenyatta has represented District 181 in the Pennsylvania House since 2019
WASHINGTON – Today, LGBTQ+ Victory Fund Spotlight Candidate Malcolm Kenyatta won the Democratic primary for state auditor in Pennsylvania, putting him on track to become the commonwealth’s first out LGBTQ+ statewide official.
Annise Parker, president & CEO of LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, issued the following statement:
“Pennsylvanians trust Malcolm Kenyatta to be their watchdog as auditor general because that’s exactly what he’s been as a legislator. LGBTQ+ Victory Fund is all in for Malcolm, because we know he has the experience to win this race and carry on his fight for students, seniors and workers as Pennsylvania’s auditor general. LGBTQ+ Americans are severely underrepresented in public office and the numbers are even worse for Black LGBTQ+ representation. I look forward to doing everything I can to mobilize LGBTQ+ Pennsylvanians and our allies to get out and vote for Malcolm this November so we can make history.”
Kenyatta is a state representative for Philadelphia-based District 181, a historic U.S. Senate candidate and an active surrogate for the Biden Harris campaign.
