Former state auditor general Eugene DePasquale says he will run for state Attorney General next year, becoming the first entrant in a race whose statewide importance could vie with the battle over the U.S. Senate seat held by Bob Casey.
“You’ve seen my work as auditor general,” said DePasquale, a Pittsburgh native whose family has known both struggle and political success. “You know my personal background. Having those two backgrounds in your next attorney general is the right way to make sure Pennsylvanians are protected.”
