Dugan to face Krasner in a rematch for Philly DA seat

The ballots come November might look a bit like a rerun to many Philadelphia voters. But fret not. It isn’t a mistake. Retired judge Pat Dugan will once again face-off against current District Attorney Larry Krasner.

While both men battled for the seat to become the Democratic choice, Krasner won with nearly 60% of the vote. This time around, thanks to write-in votes and the necessary paperwork, Dugan will hit ballots this time as a Republican.
