The 2024 Will County Executive election was held on November 5, 2024. Incumbent Democratic County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant ran for re-election to a second term. She was challenged by former County Board Member Chuck Maher, the Republican nominee. Bertino-Tarrant campaigned her success in her first term, pointing to her work in "buil[ding] good, trusting relationships with local entities as well as departments within the county offices." Maher, who left office in 2019, said that he re-entered politics to challenge Bertino-Tarrant because of a need to cut spending and taxes, and argued that Bertino-Tarrant fostered a poor relationship with the County Board.[1]

Bertino-Tarrant ultimately won re-election, but by a reduced margin, winning 52 percent of the vote to Maher's 48 percent.[2]
