Meet @Krasner4DA. Larry Krasner was among the first candidates @RealJusticePAC backed in prosecutor elections in 2017. When Krasner launched his campaign in a crowded field of 7 candidates last year, he was widely considered "completely unelectable" for his unapologetic platform.
Larry is a lifelong civil rights lawyer and had gained notoriety over the years for defending activists from #BlackLivesMatter, ActUp, and #Occupy. He ran on a platform of ending the death penalty, tackling mass incarceration, treating drug addiction as a disease not a crime.
He promised “transformational change” in the district attorney’s office aimed at reversing “a system that has systemically picked up black and brown people.” @RealJusticePAC raised more direct donations for Larry Krasner than any other endorsing organization.
We also placed three seasoned campaign staffers full time on his primary campaign team to bring best practices from the Bernie Sanders campaign to help channel the local enthusiasm for Krasner’s bold platform for change into major voter mobilization effort that broke records.
In the June Democratic primary with 7 strong opponents, Larry led the field with 38% of the vote, nearly 18% ahead of his closest opponent.
In the November general election, Philadelphia broke turnout records and elected "unelectable" Larry Krasner to be their next District Attorney with an astounding 74% of the vote.
