Pennsylvania State Representative (R), 170th District (Northeast Philadelphia); led a 2022 effort to impeach Larry Krasner.
Case
A federal judge disqualified Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner and a top aide from a murder-conviction appeal, declined to disqualify the District Attorney's Office, and referred all three to federal prosecutors, writing they may have violated the law. Krasner disputes the findings and plans to appeal.
Role at the time: Pennsylvania State Representative (R), 170th District
Statement summary
State Rep. Martina White said the referral shows Philadelphia needs a different district attorney.
“Philadelphia needs a reliable DA, not a defendant-in-waiting.”
White directly argues Krasner is unfit to continue as DA in light of the judge's findings, an express denunciation of his fitness for office in response to the referral.
