Khan (D) unseats incumbent Schorn (R) in Bucks County district attorney race; part of 'blue sweep'

A record-breaking Election Day turnout in Bucks County appears to have helped the Democrats claim key county row offices—ousting the incumbent GOP sheriff and district attorney—as part of a blue sweep in Pennsylvania and across the country.

Democratic challenger Joe Khan defeated incumbent Republican District Attorney Jen Schorn, while Democratic candidate Danny Ceisler took approximately 55% of the vote compared to the almost 45% that incumbent Sheriff Fred Harran took in that row office race.

Just after midnight, unofficial results from the county showed Khan leading with 124,624 votes compared to 106,791 votes for Schorn with more than 99% of the precincts reporting.

Khan, a former assistant US attorney, is a partner in the law firm Curtin & Heefner, where he co-chairs its appellate section, fighting for voting and environmental rights. He also served as Bucks County solicitor in 2020, a position he held until last year when he ran for Pennsylvania attorney general, losing in the primary to former Auditor General Eugene DePasquale.
