Incumbent governor Thomas Mifflin was not running. The race was between Federalist U.S. Senator James Ross and Democratic-Republican Thomas McKean. The retired Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, McKean was a Federalist and a Mifflin ally, as both supported strong state executive power but rejected the domestic policies of the national government. Some historians have pointed to McKean's victory as a forecast of Thomas Jefferson's election in the 1800 United States presidential election the next year.Formisano Ronald The transformation of political culture : Massachusetts parties, 1790s-1840s https://archive.org/details/transformationof0000form/page/13/mode/1up 1983 13 Oxford University Press New York 978-0-19-503124-9 Results Pennsylvania gubernatorial election, 1799Miller Herman P Baker W.
