Republicans Secure Historic Control of All Pennsylvania Row Offices
For the first time, Pennsylvania's attorney general, treasurer, and auditor general are all Republicans, signaling a political shift in the state.
- Dave Sunday was sworn in as Pennsylvania's attorney general, joining Treasurer Stacy Garrity and Auditor General Tim DeFoor in marking the first GOP sweep of all three statewide row offices.
- The Republican victories reflect a broader political realignment in Pennsylvania, with the GOP also flipping a U.S. Senate seat and securing a majority in the state's congressional delegation.
- Sunday emphasized accountability and redemption in his approach to law enforcement, while Garrity and DeFoor pledged to focus on financial literacy, transparency, and fiscal responsibility.
- Governor Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, attended the ceremonies and expressed confidence in the new Republican officials' ability to serve the state effectively.
- The GOP's growing influence in Pennsylvania follows significant declines in Democratic voter registration and shifting support among working-class voters in recent years.
