A story about a bar fight (and justice)

I don't believe in pulling strings to get unequal treatment—here's proof [Tim Alexander for Congress Logo]( Friend, it's Tim Alexander, and I'm a firm believer that folks should be held accountable for their actions, regardless of their wealth or connections. This isn't some stance I've adopted for the campaign trail. Here's a story: When I was at the Philadelphia DA's office, a case came across my desk to prosecute an individual after an incident at a bar. Attempting to live out some misguided action movie fantasy, a man smashed a bottle on the bar, shattering it into many dangerous pieces. That action resulted in a server being blinded and a musician getting severely hurt. This was a serious incident deserving of meaningful consequences… Then his private defense attorney called, and I saw how someone tried to work the system because of power and connections. I held firm: "Why should someone with means and connections receive special treatment? Why should this individual be treated any differently than someone who did the same thing but had a public defender?" Why should our values be compromised this way? Long story short, that moment propelled me to become a civil rights attorney. All too often—including in my own life as a victim of documented police racial profiling—people try to go around the rules and compromise their values to avoid consequences. That's not how I operate. But that's how my opponent, Jeff Van Drew, operates every day since he turned his back on voters, switched parties, and did whatever Donald Trump said to save his career instead of fighting for us.
