Three Democratic candidates and two Republican candidates will appear on the primary election ballot for the position of Pennsylvania attorney general.

John Morganelli, Josh Shapiro and Stephen A. Zappala Jr. seek the Democratic nod.

Joe Peters and John Rafferty seek the Republican bid.

The Press sent the following question to the candidates and asked for a response: What do you think is the primary concern of your constituents?

Josh Shapiro: “I believe an underlying concern for people across the commonwealth is the lack of fairness in our justice system today. From ‘Bonusgate’ to ‘Kids For Cash’ and now to ‘Porngate,’ we can’t help but question if we’ll ever have the fairness and integrity we deserve. Too many in our commonwealth feel the deck is stacked against them and they can’t get a fair shake in our justice system. Throughout my career in public service, I’ve fought to bring integrity and fairness to our system, and that’s what I’ll do as attorney general.”

Democratic candidates Morganelli and Zappala did not respond to the question.

Joe Peters: “My first priority as attorney general will be to restore the public’s full faith in the office. A former cop, I began there as an intern and later rose to be the state’s top drug prosecutor, as executive deputy attorney general of the office’s Drug and Organized Crime Division. Battling the heroin epidemic will be a top priority for me. I know that office (OAG) because I’ve lived it. I would arrive as an independent and tough, proven attorney general who would be ready to lead on day 1. There would be no need for on-the-job training.”

Republican candidate Rafferty did not respond to the question.
