Democratic state lawmaker Jared Solomon said Tuesday that he will run in next year’s election for Pennsylvania attorney general, an office that has played a big role in fighting drug trafficking, suing opioid makers and defending the battleground state’s 2020 presidential election.
Solomon, who is from Philadelphia, is the fourth Democratic candidate to join the race for the state’s top law enforcement office, which will be vacant after the 2024 election.
“This is taking it to a larger level and projecting that vision and experience and work ethic and fight for the whole commonwealth," Solomon said in an interview. In the state House this year, he supported major legislation brought up by Democratic leadership, including a measure to raise the state minimum wage to $15 by 2026, broaden protections for LGBTQ+ people and let authorities temporarily seize someone's firearms in an effort to prevent suicide deaths, domestic violence and day-to-day violence.
