Pennsylvania Democrats pick trio in attorney general race
Three contenders vie for the Democratic nomination led by Gov. Tom Wolf’s support, with Kane stepping down amid charges and potential impeachment. Shapiro, Allegheny County commissioner chair, markets himself as the people’s advocate against drug crime and corruption, while Zappala emphasizes independence and police accountability. Morganelli, seeking his third bid, calls for broader expungement of non violent records and tougher penalties for violent offenders. John Finnerty covers the State House for CNHI.

Peters and Rafferty vie for Pennsylvania attorney general
Republican challenger Peters, a former narcotics chief and ex White House drug policy adviser, faces Democrat Rafferty, a 13-year state legislator. Peters touts prosecutorial experience and law enforcement leadership to contrast with Rafferty, who pledges to restore integrity, tackle prescription drug abuse, and visit prosecutors statewide. The race follows Kane’s term and a history of GOP control prior to her 2012 election.
