Philadelphia voters resoundingly supported a Democrat who supports 'constitutional' stop-and-frisk policies in response to the city's high crime rates.
A former state representative and onetime city councilwoman, Parker emerged from a hotly contested Democratic primary with roughly one-third of the vote Tuesday night. The primary win puts her on a likely trajectory to become the first woman to ever hold the mayor's seat in a race whose list of issues has been dominated by crime.
But the situation in Philadelphia, many believe, has become increasingly untenable, requiring a more dramatic approach to fighting violent crime.
