Former Philly DA Lynne Abraham Endorses Morganelli

Former Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham, the only woman ever elected to that office, has endorsed DA John Morganelli for Congress in the 7th Congressional District. She was district attorney for 19 years.

“As a life long Democrat and advocate for women, I believe that John Morganelli is the best candidate," she said in announcing her endorsement. "First, John actually has a record of proven performance. Additionally, John has devoted his career to fighting for Democratic causes, including but not limited to advancing issues important to women. John increased female representation on the District Attorney’s staff from 5 percent to 50 percent on day one way back in 1992. He also created the Sexual Assault Unit and Domestic Violence Units to focus on crimes against women. In Congress he will fight for equal pay for women and to protect pregnant women in the workplace.”

Morganelli and Abraham served together as district attorney and developed a close friendship. 'I am honored to have Lynne’s support," said Morganelli. "Ms. Abraham was a pioneer in advancing women in the criminal justice system and a strong prosecutor who protected her community.“

    I like the endorsement and if I was a democrat, I would vote for John, hands down! Wild, the two face flaming liberal and Pawlowski lackey, has her own agenda that serves her master [Ed Pawlowski], and the other, tax and execute handouts for women, young students and other liberal causes. Remember, she took and gave money to the friends of Ed Pawlowski, her not so secret benefactor.

    Very interesting that former Partner Governor Ed Rendell endorses Susan Wild. He is also an expert on CNN

    Never heard of this dude. So he and Morganelli are both DA's, they support each other.

    Nice to see a Sue Wild supporter make a sexist remark. It's OK to be sexist to people who support John Morganelli, I see.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
