Joseph Ritner (March 25, 1780 – October 16, 1869)[1] was the eighth governor of Pennsylvania,[2] and was a member of the Anti-Masonic Party.[3][4] Elected governor during the 1835 Pennsylvania gubernatorial election, he served from 1835 to 1839.[5]
Controversy surrounding his defeat in the 1838 Pennsylvania gubernatorial election sparked the Buckshot War.[6][7]
In 1856, Governor Ritner served as a delegate to the first Republican National Convention in Philadelphia.[8]
