YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWe continue our coverage of the Philadelphia district attorney’s race with Republican nominee Beth Grossman, a prosecutor with more than 20 years’ experience serving in every unit in the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office. Grossman is a fourthgeneration Philadelphian who says she is committed to seeking justice and improving the quality of life for all Philadelphians. From 2007 to 2015, she led the city’s Public Nuisance Task Force, which handled civil asset forfeiture. The controversial practice enables district attorneys to seize people’s property and cash even if they are not convicted of a crime. Grossman now faces a tough battle in the upcoming November election against Democratic rival Larry Krasner for the district attorney seat. Philadelphia has been a staunchly Democratic city for more than 60 years.
