Eugene DePasquale, the former two-term Pennsylvania Comptroller General, announced Thursday that he will run for state attorney general in the 2024 election.
De Pasquale is the first candidate to announce his nomination and is unlikely to be the only Democrat to seek the party’s nomination.
De Pasquale, 51, won the statewide Comptroller General election twice and served as Pennsylvania’s independently elected Financial Oversight Commissioner from 2013 to 2020.

Mr. DePasquale got into politics early as York County Democratic Party chairman and later served three terms in the state House of Representatives. He is the grandson of the late Pittsburgh City Council Chairman Eugene “Jeep” DePasquale.
