“Eugene DePasquale is a Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania Attorney General. Why are you running for this office? I believe, you know, my skills are what Pennsylvania needs to be the people's lawyer. My eight years as Auditor General, I took on a lot of tough investigations that protected the people of Pennsylvania, whether it be child abuse, sexual assault, even finding waste in Harrisburg. And I think those type of skills are exactly what the people of Pennsylvania need to make sure we protect our democracy, protect abortion rights, protect our environment, and crack down these criminals that are trying to scam our seniors.” (00:19–00:29)
