Schuylkill County will have a new district attorney in 2018, as Democrat Michael A. O’Pake beat incumbent Republican Christine A. Holman on Tuesday in the one competitive countywide contest of the 2017 election.
According to unofficial countywide vote totals Tuesday night, O’Pake defeated Holman by 15,359 to 12,756.
The result, combined with Sheriff Joseph G. Groody’s unopposed re-election, again gives Democrats control of countywide law enforcement.
Republicans hold the county’s seven other row offices.
