Daily News | Philly mayoral candidate Jeff Brown criticizes DA Krasner and shifts tone on police funding
One week ago, Philadelphia mayoral candidate Jeff Brown told voters in West Philadelphia that he’d oppose increasing the nearly $800 million Police Department budget, saying: “We have enough money in the police budget.”
In a statement Thursday, Brown’s campaign spokesperson clarified that he believes the department is “adequately funded” and walked back his comments on the driving-equality law, saying Brown has concerns about elements of it but did not intend to say he would push to repeal the entire law.Still, the rhetoric represented a shift in tone for Brown, who has generally positioned himself as bullish on criminal-justice reform.
Jeff Brown alluded to Krasner’s popularity Tuesday, telling the group his own polling showed a majority of likely voters would cast their vote for Krasner again.
