Voter fraud will be heavy on this one.

As a career homicide prosecutor, Vega said, he was in the courtroom every day, acting as the champion for murder victims "who are never heard, who have no voice."
"I am here to represent the victims," Vega said. "I've always been the voice for the victims." Watching the murder and shooting rates escalate to historic levels, Vega says, he decided as a career prosecutor, as well as a parent, that "I can't sit by and let this happen to my city."
Some 87% of this year's murder victims are black, Vega says, and 10 to 12% are Latino.
"Every morning" in Philadelphia, he says, "A mother is going to hear that her child has been shot or killed. Gauranteed, someone's going to die today. With 466 murders, that means someone died every day."

Carlos Vega served the Office of the Philadelphia District Attorney for thirty-five years beginning when Edward Rendell recruited him in 1982. By 1987, Vega became the first Latino attorney in a Homicide Unit in the entire Commonwealth. He remained there for the next thirty years, where he helped victims and their families find justice for the murder of their loved ones.

Does it matter who the Dem mayoral candidate is in Philly? They'll win, regardless.

Vega & Krasner are running for DA in the Democrat Primary in May. Not for Mayor. It is the best opportunity for Vega to beat Krasner.

Would he be any better?
Re: Former homicide prosecutor Carlos Vega to challenge Krasner
He might be better, me might not be.
At the very least, its an opportunity for someone to play the race card with Vega's supporters saying Krasner is racist while Krasner's supporters will say Vega is anti-semitic. Might as well sit back and watch the fireworks with that one lol
