This morning, the Philadelphia Inquirer endorsed Seth for District Attorney, saying, "Williams has the know-how to improve the D.A.'s office and a good grasp of strategies to make neighborhoods safer places to live."

Some highlights:

Williams has the know-how to improve the D.A.'s office and a good grasp of strategies to make neighborhoods safer places to live. He would attack the prevalence of guns in the city with a "holistic" approach, including more aggressive targeting of illegal straw purchasers and working with community groups to dissuade young men from the gun culture.
The city's police union has endorsed Williams - a strong and telling vote of confidence.

To limit the large number of cases that now get dismissed, Williams would assign teams of assistant district attorneys to neighborhoods throughout the city. He said that will enable experienced prosecutors to make smarter decisions about what charges to bring in a given case, and encourage witnesses to come forward.
