The Pennsylvania gubernatorial election of 1799 was between two candidates. Incumbent governor Thomas Mifflin was not running. The race was between Federalist U.S. Senator James Ross and Democratic-Republican Thomas McKean. The former Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, McKean was a former Federalist and a Mifflin ally, as both supported strong state executive power but rejected the domestic policies of the national government.
