Yes, this day is largely about the Democratic primaries. But there actually are Republican candidates in the District Attorney and Controller races, so we thought we'd at least mention them.
So here you have it folks, the GOP offerings today. Since there's only one in each race, these two will be competing against the Democratic winner of their catagory in the general election.
District Attorney: Michael Untermeyer. Untermeyer, 58, is a former assisstant district attorney and state deputy attorney general. He ran an unsuccessful race two years ago in the Democratic primary against Sheriff John Green. Untermeyer has pledged tougher sentences for gun crimes.

City Controller: Al Schmidt. Schmidt, who worked at the Government Accountability Office in Washington, served at Republican City Committee from 2007 until earlier this year. He says that government is more accountable when watchdogged by an minority party. Check out this Q&A he recently did with WHYY.
