The November general election for the open seat is expected to be one of the most competitive and expensive statewide races in Pennsylvania this year.
State Sen. Kristin Phillips-Hill introduces York County District Attorney Dave Sunday as he declares victory in the Republican primary for attorney general.Former Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale won Tuesday night’s Democratic primary election for attorney general in a crowded field and will face York County District Attorney Dave Sunday, who handily won the Republican primary, in the November general election.
Sunday, in his acceptance speech at his election night party in York, said his win was a sign that “people all across Pennsylvania embrace and believe that accountability and redemption is what we need.” Sunday is a two-term district attorney for York County. He is a U.S. Navy veteran, who after his four years of service, said he worked at UPS while in college and law school. He then began his career in York County, and has spent the last 15 years working there as a prosecutor. He said his top issue is fighting the “fentanyl epidemic” in the state, as well as shoring up the state’s resources for mental health and elder fraud.
In Pittsburgh, where DePasquale grew up and returned to live in recent years, voters said he was the only candidate from Western Pennsylvania with name recognition. “We got issues with our present DA, with Krasner,” Newswanger said. “It seems like was focused on that, but there’s a lot more that we need to be doing. is an issue that has to be dealt with. But there are other issues as well.”
