In many ways, the circumstances of the first re -election campaign of the District Prosecutor Larry Krasner in 2021 – when Philadelphia experienced a record high level of shootings and killings – they could not be more different than his extensive win in this year’s democratic basic basic, which occurred in the midst of a edged decrease in violence from the pistol.
But the analysis of the questioning results at the district level shows the striking similarities between his victory four years ago and the dominant performance on Tuesday, from districts in which he best achieved his margin of victory throughout the city.

The Krasner 2021 campaign, in which he defeated the former prosecutor Carlos Vega in the basic democratic, is direct paralling to this year’s race, in which he defeated the former judge of the city court Patrick Dugan in another basic primary. However, in his first victory in 2017, Krasner emerged from a crowded democratic field, making it arduous to compare apples with apples.
There was one main difference between this year’s basic and 2021: Electoral turnout, which is usually depressed during city elections outside the year, was even lower this year.

Krasner is now ready to win the third four -year term in November, because no Republican has launched. Here’s how this year’s Victory compared to its run 2021.
Victory both deep and wide
The dominance of the entire city of Krasner was reflected in the districts in Philadelphia, leading Dugan with a margin of almost two to one with almost all the area reporting on Wednesday.
Krasner secured about 95,000 votes, i.e. 64% of votes, compared to 53,000 dugan, i.e. 36%. The margin of the Operator Zasiany was close to his performance in 2021 against Vega, whom he defeated from 67% votes to 33% Vegi.
The current DA won 43 districts, while his contender took 15, identical split from 2021.
Krasner won over three quarters of votes in 21 districts. Dugan managed to do it in five. Four years ago, Krasner achieved this sign in 26 districts.
He exceeded 85% of votes in the West Philadelphia districts, such as University City and Kingsessing, while exposing good results at West Mount Airy and Germanown.
Dugan’s profits were much less wide-ranging, although he had pockets with particularly robust support in a more conservative study Districts such as Bridesburg, Torresdale and other pockets in the north -eastern Philadelphia, where he won over 80% of votes.
Both Krasner and Dugan chose recent districts
While the election map largely reflected the basic map in 2021, slight changes occurred.
In particular, four districts fell over in 2025.
This year, Krasner picked up Fairhill and Roxborough, two districts that he lost to Vega. Meanwhile, Dugan took Frankford and Oxford Circle/Castor, which Krasner won in 2021. Frankford and Oxford Circle/Castor moved from Krasner from almost 10 points, which is the biggest changes in both directions of all districts.
Krasner improved his margins the most in the southern Philadelphia East, Fairhill and Hunting Park, seeing changes by greater than six points in each of them. Schuylkill/Southwest Center City joined Frankford and Oxford Circle/Castor as districts that moved the furthest from Krasner.
The turnout has dropped dramatically in some places
The turnout in the race fell clearly compared to four years ago. With approximately 99% of voting (excluding short-lived voting cards and defective voting cards), 149,000 votes were cast in the race, compared to 193,000 in 2021. This is a decrease by about 23%.
Downoni -situation was reflected in the districts throughout the city, with the largest declines in places such as Bridesburg and Mayfair, in which almost 40%fell. Both districts belonged to the strongest Dugan.
