John, we’re so
excited to announce our first endorsement of the year!

Real Justice PAC could not be any prouder to endorse Matt Dugan for
District Attorney of Allegheny County in Pennsylvania.

Matt Dugan began his career as a trial attorney, worked his way up to
Deputy of Pre-Trial Division, and ultimately became the Chief Deputy
Director of the Public Defender’s office. 

He has devoted his career to ensuring the most marginalized members of our
community have access to fair and just outcomes in the courtroom. In
Allegheny County, many people get caught up in the system because of many
issues that we’ve failed to address, such as substance abuse disorders,
untreated or undiagnosed mental health issues, and instability due to
poverty. 

And we’re also failing many of the victims by not convicting the
aggressors who commit serious crimes. 

That’s why we are endorsing Matt Dugan for District Attorney of Allegheny
County (including Pittsburgh!). We know that he will show compassion,
commitment, and integrity on a daily basis and work to root out the
significant racial disparities in our criminal justice system.

The opponent in this race, Stephen Zappala, has been in office since 1998,
and he has a disastrous track record. There have been calls for an
investigation into Zappala not hiring Black prosecutors, and his approach
to plea deals has been called “systematically racist.” In fact, a white
motorist was given such a light sentence for fighting with police that the
judge objected and said it was “a ridiculous plea that only goes to white
boys.”

Zappala also jailed a woman for having a miscarriage and her lawyer said
that it was “the most abusive prosecution I’ve ever witnessed.”

Enough is enough and with your help, we can finally defeat Zappala and
elect a champion for justice in Pittsburgh and all of Allegheny County.

John, we
have seen the good that Real Justice-backed DAs have done across this
country. From the exemplary work of DA Larry Krasner in Philadelphia to
pursue justice and free wrongfully convicted people to the most recent
fair judgment and prosecution by DA Steven Mulroy of the Memphis police
officers who murdered Tyre Nichols. 

Now is our chance to elect another progressive leader in Pennsylvania who
will hold cops accountable, prosecute people fairly, and work to transform
this unjust justice system. 

We know Matt Dugan is the right choice to lead the Allegheny County
District Attorney's Office.

these final critical weeks to boost his efforts in this race and to Real
Justice PAC to help us elect Matt and more bold leaders like him into
office everywhere.

In solidarity, 

Real Justice PAC
