On November 5, Pennsylvania voters will head to the polls to elect the state’s next attorney general, auditor general, and treasurer—three key positions that influence the management of state finances, legal enforcement, and oversight of government accountability.
In the treasurer’s race, Democrat Erin McClelland is challenging Republican incumbent Stacy Garrity. For auditor general, Philadelphia State Representative Malcolm Kenyatta, a Democrat, is running against Republican Tim DeFoor, who currently holds the office. Meanwhile, the attorney general race is an open contest between Democrat Eugene DePasquale and Republican Dave Sunday.
Stephen Caruso from Spotlight PA and Chris Borick, a political science professor and pollster from Muhlenberg College, discuss the candidates’ backgrounds, campaign platforms, and the importance of the offices they are seeking.
