Democratic candidates in must-win congressional seats remain open to abolishing cash bail, despite serious opposition from voters and law enforcement officials.
An April 19, 2018, video clip shows John Fetterman praising Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner for eliminating cash bail and not prosecuting marijuana crimes.
Johnson, a two-term incumbent once seen as highly vulnerable, has used the issue to paint Barnes as"soft on crime." GOP groups aligned with the senator are running ads tying Barnes to Darrell Brooks, a Wisconsin man who killed six people last year by plowing his car through a Christmas parade. Brooks had been arrested days before the attack on domestic assault charges but was freed after posting $1,000 in bail.
"The lieutenant governor believes we should decide who is imprisoned before their trial begins based on how much of a risk they pose to the community not on how much money they have," a Barnes' spokesperson said earlier this year to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Oz's Senate campaign is running ads of remarks Fetterman made in 2018 calling Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's push toFetterman, like Barnes, has lost out on the endorsement of several police unions over his statements on ending cash bail. The Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police even said in its decision to endorse Oz that Fetterman"has a long history of anti-police rhetoric and advocacy for policies that make communities less safe.
