National political themes will lead off the campaign for Pennsylvania’s next attorney general.
It's an office that played a major role in fighting lawsuits designed to keep Donald Trump in power after he lost the 2020 presidential election. The nominees will carry forward messages they honed in their primary campaigns.
The nominees — Democrat Eugene DePasquale, the former twice-elected state auditor general, and Republican Dave Sunday, the twice-elected district attorney of York County — will carry forward messages they honed in their primary campaigns into their November general election contest. Sunday says the fentanyl crisis is “the number one issue facing Pennsylvanians,” and he packages it with a national GOP talking point during an election year when Trump is putting a target on Biden’s immigration policy: “every state is a border state.”Sunday said his focus on fentanyl isn't political, but reflects his experience both as a county prosecutor and on the campaign trail.
But, state attorneys general also are becoming increasingly political and reflecting the intense polarization of the nation's two major parties, said Paul Nolette, a political science professor at Marquette University. When it comes to fighting fentanyl, they give similar answers: work with all levels of government and the treatment community.
