Allegheny County Sheriff Deputy Kevin Kraus appeared to have won his primary, beating out fellow hopeful Dom Costa for county sheriff. Early Wednesday morning, Kraus was leading by nearly 3,700 votes, with 99 percent of precincts reporting. The two Democrats were vying to replace retiring Sheriff William Mullen, who has served in the office since 2007. Kraus joined a crowd of supporters in Ross Township Tuesday evening, but left the event early. A campaign staffer said Kraus was anxiously awaiting the final vote count after periods where the two candidates were separated by 2,000 votes. He served as a Pittsburgh police officer for decades before moving to the sheriff’s office, where he was later appointed chief deputy in 2014. Dom Costa was a police officer in East McKeesport before becoming a Pittsburgh police commander and the city’s chief of police in 2006. ....
Mel Evans / AP Election petitions were due Tuesday from candidates who hope to appear on the May 18 primary ballot, and a number of races appear to have drawn few competitors.

(Conversely, some candidates may seek to run write-in campaigns in hopes of appearing on the November ballot without filing petitions first.) ....
Former Pittsburgh Police chief and state representative Dom Costa is running for Allegheny County sheriff. “Our county and our country are in the midst of unrest and turmoil right now, and I believe that my life has prepared me to lead during these uncertain times,” Costa said in a statement. The statement invoked Costa s gratitude for first responders, medical professionals, teachers and “grocery store employees and truck drivers who insure that we have all the essentials we needed. And it was in their “spirit of service and goodness that I am announcing that I am running for the office of Sheriff. My career in public service has equipped me to protect and serve this community that I love.” ....

Two Pennsylvania sheriff’s deputies reassigned and quarantined after being photographed maskless at indoor eatery They are so grounded. Two sheriff’s deputies in Pennsylvania’s Alleghany County have not only been reassigned but are also under mandatory quarantine after being photographed maskless in a restaurant that was flouting COVID restrictions on indoor dining. The deputies, who were not named, were shown posing with the owner of the Crack’D Egg diner, reported the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Monday. Behind them was a packed restaurant. Indoor dining has been suspended in Pennsylvania since last Thursday, when Gov. Tom Wolf issued new restrictions to try and stem the spread of the pathogen that the department of health calculates has already claimed 12,620 lives in the state, out of 458,149 cases. ....
