PA-AG: How AG candidate Eugene DePasquale (D) helped clear 90% of PA's untested rape kits
Clearing the backlog of untested rape kits across the commonwealth by more than 90% was one of Eugene DePasquale’s crowning achievements during his tenure as Pennsylvania’s Auditor General, and he believes it’s a perfect example as to why he should be the commonwealth’s next Attorney General.
“It shows that I know how to conduct a statewide investigation,” DePasquale said in an interview with The Keystone.
“It shows I know how to work with victims and survivors, that I know how to work with law enforcement and I know how to put together the right type of team to knock down walls to get at the information so that we can bring justice.”
DePasquale is running against York County’s Republican District Attorney Dave Sunday for the open attorney general’s seat in the upcoming election, and according to him, it all started in 2016 after reading reports of more than 1,800 untested rape kits were discovered in Michigan.
