AP Projects Larry Krasner Wins Third Term as Philadelphia District Attorney

Voters weighed his reform record against Pat Dugan’s call for tougher prosecution.

Overview

  • With 24% of the vote counted, Krasner led 81.2% to 18.8%, according to the Associated Press projection reported by CBS Philadelphia.
  • All posted tallies remain unofficial until election officials certify the results.
  • Pat Dugan, a former Municipal Court judge who lost the Democratic primary, ran as a Republican arguing the DA’s office lacks accountability and rigorous training.
  • Krasner campaigned on continuing reforms that include alternatives to prosecution, protecting immigrants, and preventing wrongful convictions, as police data show fewer homicides and less violent crime in 2025.
  • Dugan spotlighted the Kada Scott case after charges against suspect Keon King were previously withdrawn; Krasner said his office is reviewing what could have been done better.
