In the first television commercials of the race for becoming a district prosecutor in Philadelphia, the former judge of the city court Patrick Dugan is referred to as “a real reformer” in a subtle stab in the progressive duty of Larry Krasner.
Advertisement, This week this week in the cable network in the whole city, depicting voters as a military veteran and a former judge who will balance, offering “second chances” without violence with securing “safer districts”.
“I apply to DA to make our city as safe as it is great,” says Dugan on the spot. Then a supporter, Sheila Carter of Mount Airy, falls and says: “Pat? He is a real reformer.”
Advertisements are insight into how Dugan is sold to the democratic main voters within five weeks before the elections on May 20. Television ads are seen as one of the most effective ways to reach voters, especially for a pretender, such as Dugan, who receives a well -known, two -time sitting.
But ads are exorbitant, and Dugan’s campaign developed advertising pressure at the beginning of this week as further evidence of his “main advantage of collecting funds” on the Krasner side, which is not yet launched.
Campaign finance reports submitted last week show that Dugan, supported by a number of trade unions, released a immense dwarf in the first three months of this year. However, Krasner predicted trust in his operation and this week he published a survey paid by the campaign, which shows him a significant advantage.
Dugan tries to break away to the Krasner coalition, conducting campaign as a “hard but fair” alternative to the District Prosecutor, who is considered the national leader of the progressive movement of the prosecutor and was a citizens’ lawyer before taking office in 2018.
For example, Dugan advertised his record as a judge supervising programs that reverse criminals at a low level from the justice system in criminal matters, including in court veterans of the city he founded. He said that he would improve some of the most popular Krasner’s efforts, such as the unit dealing with the examination of claims for unlawful imprisonment and annulment of beliefs.
Dugan, who grew up in Frankford, is also based on his Philadelphia vouchers. At some point in the advertisement has a Kelly Green Eagles shirt, he maintains number 1 and says: “Go birds.”
