The candidates greeted riders at SEPTA’s Fox Chase train station.

Next, they had breakfast at the Dining Car.

Later, they met members of the Hispanic Republican Coalition of Pennsylvania outside El Balconcito II, a restaurant at 7326 Castor Ave. Pictures of Sunday and Picozzi were on campaign literature printed in Spanish.

Sunday and Picozzi knocked on doors on nearby Loretto Avenue.

Sunday, 49, married with a 10-year-old son, is in his second term as district attorney in York County. He’s visited all 67 counties during his campaign for attorney general.

In Tuesday’s election, Sunday faces Democrat Eugene DePasquale, Libertarian Robert Cowburn, the Green Party’s Richard Weiss, the Constitution Party’s Justin Magill and the Forward Party’s Eric Settle.

Sunday sees safety as the top issue, arguing that a safe Pennsylvania will make the economy and schools better. Specifically, he believes the attorney general has to address issues such as gang violence, online child predators, senior citizen scams and fentanyl, including marijuana laced with the deadly opioid.

“We need a prosecutor in that role,” he said.

After knocking on doors, Sunday traveled to Pennsburg, Montgomery County to attend a rally for GOP U.S. Senate candidate Dave McCormick, with Nikki Haley as the featured speaker. ••
