Eugene Depasquale (b. August 3, 1971) is a Democratic member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, representing District 95. He is also running for Pennsylvania Auditor in the 2012 elections.

Depasquale earned his BA in Political Science from the College of Wooster in 1993. He went on to receive his MPA from the University of Pittsburgh in 1997. He then received his JD from Widener University School of Law in 2002.

After earning his law degree, Depasquale began work as an attorney. He also worked for the City of York as Director of Economic Development from 2002 to 2003. He then worked as Deputy Secretary for the Department of Environmental Protection from 2003 to 2006.

Depasquale served as Chair of the York County Democratic Party from 1998 to 2002. He then joined the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 2007. He has served in that position since, representing the 95th District.

DePasquale is running for Pennsylvania Auditor and re-election to the House in 2012. He ran unopposed in both races in the April 24 primary. He will face Republican John Maher in the general election for auditor on November 6.

Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato, who many thought may run for the auditor position, endorsed DePasquale in late November 2011.[1]

Issue positions

On his campaign website, DePasquale lists four major themes of his campaign:[2]

  • Finding savings - "Given the incredible budgetary strain facing Pennsylvanians in recent years, the office of Auditor General is even more critical. I will run audits that will identify any wasteful and inefficient spending that can be eliminated, freeing up money for critical programs."
  • Improving job creation - "The most important issue for Pennsylvania is job creation. I will consistently audit all economic development programs in order to identify those that are succeeding and those that are not so that we can either revise or eliminate them."
  • Protecting the environment - "On my first day in office as your Auditor General, I will order an immediate performance audit of the Department of Environmental Protection to make sure our constitutional right to pure water has not been compromised by natural gas drilling."
  • Funding education, healthcare, and public safety - "While we need to eliminate wasteful spending, we also need to make sure that critical programs have the funding that they need. The enormous cuts last year to education and health care programs are already taking a heavy toll on Pennsylvanians, and now eliminating hundreds of police officers is on the table. I will use the office to not only identify savings but to promote how these savings can be used."
