Second Generation - Joe Khan for Pennsylvania Attorney General
Second Generation is proud to support Joe Khan for Pennsylvania Attorney General.
The son of a Pakistani engineer who came to America to build bridges, Joe Khan has always fought to give everyone a seat at the table. Joe fully embodies the spirit and mission of Second Generation, and not just because he’s the son of Muslim and Catholic parents from a Jewish neighborhood in Northeast Philadelphia — Joe was an original co-founder of Second Generation back in 2018 and served as our the Chair through our first year and a half of advocacy.
After earning degrees from Swarthmore College and the University of Chicago Law School, where he was taught by President Barack Obama, Joe quickly established himself as a legal champion who will hold bad actors accountable and stand up against powerful interests. He began his career prosecuting sexual assault, child abuse, and domestic violence in the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office. Joe then spent the next decade serving as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, where he resolved high-stakes matters across southeastern Pennsylvania and led the historic City Hall corruption probes in Allentown and Reading. Before his run for Pennsylvania Attorney General, Joe served as the Bucks County Solicitor, where he defended our democracy against Donald Trump and the Republicans’ attempts to overturn the 2020 election. His tireless dedication to justice earned him the 2021 Outstanding Solicitor Award and the 2022 Government Lawyer of the Year Award.
As a father and experienced attorney, Joe not only understands the issues facing Pennsylvanians, but also how to best overcome them. With so much at stake here in Pennsylvania, we need to ensure our AG’s Office doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. We need a leader like Joe who is respected across the commonwealth as both a forward-thinking County Solicitor and a reform-minded prosecutor.
“Standing up and showing up for immigrant communities, is not only how we build a more just legal system, it’s how we’re going to win this year‘s elections. On the campaign trail, and as Attorney General, I will continue my lifelong advocacy for immigrant communities and those who need a champion.” — Joe Khan
