HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) - Republican York County District Attorney Dave Sunday has won the race to serve as Pennsylvania's Attorney General, defeating former Democrat Auditor General Eugene DePasquale.
Sunday has worked as a prosecutor in York County since 2009 and became District Attorney in 2018.
Sunday was previously appointed by the Department of Justice as special assistant United States attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania to prosecute gang, gun and drug cases in federal court. In that role, he was involved with the arrest and prosecution of more than 100 people associated with the Latin Kings gang in York County.
Sunday enlisted in the Navy and attended Penn State University and Widener Law School.
Sunday has emphasized his 15 years as a prosecutor in York County, a Republican majority area with about 460,000 residents south of Harrisburg, near Maryland throughout his campaign. He's promised to uphold Pennsylvania's laws regardless of his beliefs.
Current Attorney General Michelle Henry is not running after being appointed by Governor Josh Shapiro to fill his role leading the Attorney General's office after Shapiro won the 2022 Governor's race.
