The 2024 United States House of Representatives election in Puerto Rico to elect the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico will be held on November 5, 2024. The election of the Resident Commissioner will be held concurrently with concurrently with the larger 2024 United States House of Representatives elections, the 2024 Puerto Rico gubernatorial election, and other U.S. federal and Puerto Rican general election races.

The Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico is the only member of the United States House of Representatives who is elected every four years instead of a two-year term. The incumbent is Jenniffer González, a member of the New Progressive Party (PNP) and the Republican Party, who was re-elected with 41.2% of the vote in 2020. González is not seeking re-election in 2024, instead choosing to run for governor.[1]

The Popular Democratic Party of Puerto Rico nominated Pablo Hernández Rivera to seek the Resident Commissioner seat. He formed an exploratory bid in February 2023 but became the official nominee in May. Hernández is a Democrat and the grandson of the former governor of Puerto Rico Rafael Hernández Colón.[2]
