While Bucks County -- long considered a "purple county" as it could swing either way in many elections -- turned red during the 2024 election for President Donald Trump, that support may have been short lived as voters in the county, on Tuesday, overwhelmingly voted for Democratic candidates.

In the election for county District Attorney, voters supported former federal prosecutor, Joe Khan, 47, by a margin of about 14% over his opponent, incumbent Republican District Attorney Jennifer Schorn.

Khan, of Doylestown, previously ran for state attorney general and, as a prosecutor, led sweeping corruption investigations in Allentown and Reading.

Also, in the race for Sheriff, Danny Ceisler, an army veteran and an attorney, defeated Republican incumbent Fred Harran, who has long been a fixture of law enforcement in Bucks County. Harran recently pushed to allow deputy sheriffs to work with ICE and utilize a federal immigration database, an effort that received pushback from the ACLU. Here, Ceisler unseated Harran by a margin of about 15%.
