He was instrumental in swinging conservative votes behind a bill to legalize medical marijuana in 2016, according to a profile on his website.
He opposed legislation that would have lifted legal barriers for victims of long-ago child sexual abuse from suing institutions, according to NBC Philadelphia.
Folmer is married and has two adult children and seven grandchildren, his online profile says. Neither Folmer nor his office responded to requests for comment Wednesday morning

whether it's this kind of crime or the more usual corruption. And, btw, my experience is that that's almost always the answer.
And when it's a Democrat, I try to see if it's one of our relatively rare conservative Democrats. One guess why.

Sitting in modern times, it is disgusting to think that happened, but a lot of rightwing evangelicals don't appear to agree, we hear of women saying they were sexually abused in church as children and forced to remain silent by elders.
