Erica Deuso wins Downingtown's Democratic mayoral primary, will face Republican Richard Bryant
Erica Deuso defeated Barry Cassidy in Downingtown’s Democratic mayoral primary, according to unofficial results. Deuso will square off against Republican Richard Bryant in the general election.
If elected, she would become the first openly transgender mayor in Pennsylvania.
“We’re going to keep Downingtown safe, sustainable and strong,” Deuso said Tuesday evening.
Deuso received the local Democratic Party’s endorsement after sitting Mayor Phil Dague declined a bid for a second term. Cassidy did not respond to multiple requests for comment submitted via email.
