Daily News | Philly State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta is preparing to run for state auditor general
Philadelphia State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta is preparing to run for auditor general next year, a move that reflects the Democrat’s rising profile since his unsuccessful bid for U.S. Senate.
Kenyatta said Friday he is “seriously, seriously considering” the race and said being the state’s fiscal watchdog is an opportunity to “keep taxpayers and working people from being screwed.” “What we need in the auditor is somebody who is actually going to speak out and talk about what’s wrong,” he said, “and also be collaborative in trying to fix it.”
The three-term lawmaker is set to appear at a fund-raiser Saturday in Allegheny County hosted by a handful of western Pennsylvania Democratic donors and activists. If Kenyatta decides to officially get in the race, he’d likely make an announcement this spring.The auditor general’s office is currently held by Timothy L. DeFoor, a first-term Republican and the former controller of Dauphin County.
