The former Democratic state attorney general became the state’s new attorney general on Sunday, suggesting that his success in bringing down crime in York County is something that could help statewide. Well, DePasquale says his past statewide investigations show he can enforce Pennsylvania’s laws objectively. You can go to someone and say, look at what we did. Here’s the result. Society is safer. We saved taxpayers money. You know, families are much safer, and then people are much more willing, much more willing to give them a chance from my investigation. More than 3,000 untested rape kits uncovered, taking hundreds of bad actors off the streets. My investigation found 58,000 unanswered phone calls to the child abuse hotline to make sure our children are better protected. The Auditor General monitors how state funds are used for locally funded programs and catches fraudsters. The race pits Republican incumbent Tim DeVoe against Democratic state Representative Malcolm Kenyatta. Third-party candidates include Eric Anton of the American Solidarity Party, Bob Goodrich of the Constitution Party, and Ray Smith of the Liberals.
