Daily News | State Rep. Amen Brown will launch a run for Philadelphia mayor on Friday
But Amen Brown will likely have deep-pocketed backers of his own. His candidacy was announced earlier this month by New York City real estate developer Marty Burger, who introduced Brown at a fund-raiser in a Manhattan cigar bar. Sources say Burger, who has developed in Brown’s House district, vowed to seed a super PAC with $5 million.
And he has not been shy about his positions on combating crime, especially as the city contends with a persistent gun-violence crisis. Such policies have, over decades, gradually fallen out of favor with Democrats and even some pro-reform Republicans who say mandatory sentences are inflexible and don’t allow judges to consider a defendant’s specific circumstances or culpability.But several Democrats who initially expressed support backed out, and the legislation ultimately went nowhere.
He was part of a team of lawmakers who last year negotiated to get the state’s largest gun show to stop selling kits to make homemade firearms known as “ghost guns.” He introduced legislation that would eliminate medical copays for incarcerated people, and he authored a bill to halt sheriff’s sales in the city during the pandemic.
