Democrats Sweep Bucks County Law Enforcement as Joe Khan Wins District Attorney

The outcomes point to a reordering of public-safety priorities in a Trump‑voting county.

Overview

  • With 100% of precincts reporting, Joe Khan led Jennifer Schorn roughly 54% to 46%, according to county results.
  • Khan’s win makes him the first Democrat ever elected Bucks County district attorney.
  • Democrat Danny Ceisler unseated Sheriff Fred Harran and has pledged to end the office’s partnership with ICE.
  • The campaigns focused on prosecutorial decisions, including the lack of a grand jury in the Jamison Elementary abuse case and the choice not to prosecute a pipeline leak, with Schorn citing confidentiality rules.
  • Khan previously served as county solicitor, handling Trump campaign election cases and a county lawsuit against social media firms, as analysts described the results as a local rejection of Trump‑aligned politics.
