(The Center Square) – Republican candidates for attorney general, treasurer and auditor general are on the edge of victory in Pennsylvania.

Treasurer Stacy Garrity and Auditor General Tim DeFoor will likely return to office in January after clinching 52 percent and 51 percent of the vote, respectively, with 90 percent of the ballots counted.

Dave Sunday has also bested Democratic challenger Eugene DePasquale for attorney general 51 percent – 46 percent. The victory is a promotion of sorts; he’s been district attorney in York County since 2018 and boasts a long career as a prosecutor.

Garrity and DeFoor were first elected in 2020, escaping the downballot slide that came with Trump’s 80,000-plus vote loss to President Joe Biden.
