Across the aisle, the Chester County Republican Committee is trying to tie the Democratic candidates for commissioner, district attorney and sheriff to the escape from Chester County Prison in August 2023 of convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante.
Two men with experience in the office are seeking election this year to replace outgoing Sheriff Fredda Maddox, who is seeking a seat on the county’s Common Pleas Court. Democrat Kevin Dykes now serves as Maddox’s chief aide, while Republican Roy Kofroth is a local businessman who worked as a deputy from 2021 to 2022, after having served as a security monitor.

Holland, in comments to the press and the public, blamed a “single point of failure” for Cavalcante’s escape the triangular open space above the walls he climbed in Yard 6, where he was allowed to roam while awaiting transfer to the state prison where he is now housed in Montgomery County.
