AG And Congressional Candidates Attend Chesco Petition Party — Bunny Welsh hosted a meet-and-greet petition-signing party at her Chadds Ford home, last night, Jan. 31 with appearances by Republican-endorsed Attorney General candidate Dave Sunday and 6th District congressional candidate Neil Young.
The impressions both men made were great.
Sunday is the York County district attorney who refused then Attorney General Josh Shapiro’s demand to prosecute businesses that ignored the state- mandate to close during Covid.
He noted that the drug crisis is the worst in memory and blamed it on fentanyl. He said the open border allows the cartels to push it through almost at will. Sunday said that a young person was far, far, far more likely to have survived temporary stupidity with the drugs of decades past than today with fentanyl.
Regarding criminal justice, he said punishment is necessary but mercy must be included. Sunday said that only 8 percent of convicts return to prison who find work upon release. About half of those that don’t end up back behind bars.
Sunday has developed a successful job program with York County manufacturers — including Harley-Davidson — which provide decent paying jobs for former inmates.
Former Delco DA Kat Copeland has dropped out of the AG race and has endorsed Sunday. State Rep. Craig Williams, however, is still reportedly circulating petitions.
Sunday is a veteran of the US Navy.
Neil Young is a teacher who poked fun at his famous name. His issues included education and the border.
Yes, he can unseat the incumbent Democrat. The 6th District is Chester County with a portion of Berks County.
The primary election is April 23.

I for one am sick and tired of the establishment forcing candidates on us. What is the point of the Primary if they are going to pick the candidates ahead of time. In the case of one Dave McCormick over a year before the election!
