Larry Krasner Bio

A graduate of Stanford Law, DA Krasner started his legal career as a public defender and was elected to his current position in 2017 after running as a self-described "Progressive Prosecutor." So far in his time as DA, he has supported victims, he has exonerated the innocent, and he has held police accountable. He has reduced future years of incarceration and supervision while helping to drop the jail population. He has focused on the most serious crimes in Philadelphia while working with leaders to address the root causes of violence. His policies include ending criminal charges against those caught with marijuana possession, ending cash bail for those accused of some misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies, reducing supervision for parolees, and seeking more lenient sentences for certain crimes.
