BREAKING Shapiro to nominate Republican Schmidt, former Philly official, for secretary of state
A former Philadelphia election official who has told of enduring death threats for defending the city's 2020 vote-counting against former President Donald Trump's lies will be nominated for the top election administration post in Pennsylvania.
Protecting elections and voting rights was central to Shapiro's campaign, as he emphasized his intention to nominate a "pro-Democracy" secretary of state and his role, as attorney general, in fighting efforts in court by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Schmidt is currently president and CEO of the Committee of Seventy, a good-government group in Philadelphia. Before he joined the group a year ago, Schmidt spent a decade as a Republican elected to the three-member board that oversees elections in Philadelphia.
The department also administers a long list of professional licensing commissions that report to the department.
