I&#8217;m running for every Philadelphian who wants real safety, real justice, and real accountability regardless of political belief or personal background,&#8221; said Dugan in the release. &#8220;I cannot stand by and allow Mr. Krasner&#8217;s failed policies to continue to hold our city hostage. Every Philadelphian has a real choice this fall, and I believe they will stand with me for common sense and safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dugan lost to incumbent Larry Krasner in the Democratic primary in May by almost 44,000 votes. Krasner is running for his third term as the city&#8217;s DA.<\/p>\n<p>Dugan served as a former municipal court judge for 17 years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A lifelong Philadelphian, Dugan was born in Fairmount and raised in the Frankford section of the city by a single mom with his four siblings. Dugan said he chose to run in November after a close examination of the incumbent District Attorney&#8217;s record,&#8221; the release said.<\/p>\n<p>\n        More from CBS News\n      <\/p>\n<p>      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/taleisha-newbill\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Taleisha  Newbill<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Taleisha Newbill is a digital content producer at CBS Philadelphia.
