Why George Soros & Andrew Yang Care About Our DA Race
District attorney isn’t typically a sexy race, especially in Allegheny County where the same person has held the office since the late 1990s. But this year, incumbent Democrat Stephen A. Zappala has a big challenge. Not only because he already lost the party nomination in April to fellow Democrat and public defender Matt Dugan, but also because a tremendous amount of outside money is suddenly pouring in. Why do George Soros and Andrew Yang care about our upcoming election, and will it make any difference on Election Day Nov. 7? We’re with PublicSource reporter Charlie Wolfson to find out!
Check your voter registration and polling place ahead of Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 7.
