- Danny Ceisler unseated Sheriff Fred Harran and has pledged to end the office’s 287(g) partnership with ICE.
- Khan is believed to be the first Democrat ever elected as Bucks County district attorney.
- Campaign debates focused on Schorn’s handling of alleged child abuse at a Central Bucks elementary school and the decision not to prosecute a pipeline fuel leak in Upper Makefield Township.
