Defense Attorney Chuck Peruto Will Run as Republican for Philadelphia District Attorney – NBC10 Philadelphia

Peruto will run as a Republican in a city where registered Democrats outnumber GOP voters by nearly 8-to-1. He said the Republican Party endorsed him over the weekend, but the party's leadership was not present at his announcement Tuesday and has not issued a statement showing Peruto support.
A message left for the city Republican Party was not returned.
"I wanted to do it in front of our Justice Center and the revolving doors behind me because that’s a symbol of our Justice Center," Peruto said. "In and out, people laughing, (saying) 'Beat my case. It was a layup,' things like that. This city is a disgrace We have a public defender disguised as a district attorney."
