Chambersburg Public Opinion
Update: The president of the Franklin County Republican Committee, Allen Coffman, said Matt Fogal s move to change his party affiliation from Republican to Independent is not surprising given he was not affiliated with a political party before being appointed as district attorney in 2009.
He said he is surprised, however, that Fogal didn t go the rest of the way and become a Democrat.
Coffman, who is also a member of Chambersburg Borough Council, said he had heard about Fogal s statement but had not read it before a reporter contacted him Wednesday. After being told a summary of Fogal s comments on the election and the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, he said: My party, as far as I m concerned, denounces violence too. We agree on that.
