60: That’s how many years its been since the specter of the Crosstown Expressway loomed over South Street. Tom Fitzgerald and Kevin Riordan have a fascinating story about the fight to kill the expressway (and save Philly) in today’s Inquirer. (See, I can be nice.)

Krasner’s dominating performance was in many ways a repeat of the last primary election, four years ago.

The former Philadelphia Municipal Court judge is running against the two-term incumbent in the Democratic primary on May 20.

Krasner appears to be the frontrunner. In 2021 he beat a primary challenger by 33 points, and a poll commissioned by his campaign reportedly found that as of early April he led Dugan by 37 points. Dugan’s campaign dismissed the internal poll as unreliable and argues that voters want to see tougher prosecution of criminals.

Philadelphia Republicans are organizing a write-in campaign that could allow Patrick Dugan to run as the GOP nominee in November if he loses the Democratic primary against Larry Krasner.

Philadelphia Democrat District Attorney Lawrence Krasner survived a primary challenge from Judge Pat Dugan on Tuesday, but the two could potentially face a rematch in November.

Primary election day in Philly went off without a hitch. In the biggest race, incumbent Larry Krasner defeated Pat Dugan to be the Democratic nominee for DA in November.
