Eugene DePasquale, the Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania Attorney General, struck a deeply personal note on the campaign trail on Monday as he outlined some of the top issues that define his candidacy.
DePasquale, appearing at a Pennsylvania Press Club lunch in Harrisburg, shared the personal turmoil of seeing his father battle a 30-year addiction to opioids, the emotional decisions he and his ex-wife faced when she had an ectopic pregnancy emergency and his family’s decades-long challenge to care for his disabled brother without health care.
“I know what we had the right to then,” DePasquale said of the medical care his wife Tracy received in 1998. “I will fight to make sure you have that right not just in Pennsylvania but anyone fleeing right-wing authoritarian states.”
DePasquale, a former state representative and two-term auditor general, also leaned on his statewide office experience to make a case about why he is the right candidate for the office.
