And your service to your country and your passion to the city of Philadelphia and our nation is second to none.

Well, thank you for that.

So in the 1980s, I was an infantry paratrooper.

I served in South Korea.

I served in Panama.

And I was in the 82nd Airborne Division with a recon platoon.

So I was a grunt.

Um, and that's no secret to anybody in this room or most of our people, um, talk about why, by the way, You didn't just sit down and take no for an answer.

Do you, do you think that, uh, the National Guard should be deployed into Philadelphia?

I think there should be some cooperation.

I don't think we need the National Guard right now.

What we need is we need somebody to cooperate with the mayor of Philadelphia, Cherelle Parker, who's a Democrat, who was elected saying, "Let's enforce the criminal code." She has a forward-thinking police commissioner by the name of Bethel.

They're working together to try to solve the issues in our city.

They don't have the third partner, and that's the district attorney of Philadelphia, who refuses to hold violent criminals, uh, accountable.

This is a fact.

Wow

Can nobody smell that except me? It stinks.

So, Nancy, yes, I'm running against the current district attorney right now in an election in November.

What I'm promising, if I win this election, I will do a top to bottom review of this entire case.

I will bring in a team of experts, former homicide prosecutors, homicide detectives, and we will look at the entire record.

I will review it with ethics and And as an attorney and as a former judge, we will look at the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office file.

We will look at the Chester County's District Attorney's Office file, the Attorney General's file.

We will look at all these autopsy reports.

Judge Dugan, why won't the district attorney's office hand over Ellen's file to her parents?
