Father of reporter killed on live TV is running for Congress
While reporting for WDBJ, a station in Roanoke, Virginia, Parker and photojournalist Ward were attacked by gunman Vester Lee Flanagan II, a former reporter at WDBJ.
Andy Parker, Alison Parker's father and a gun-control advocate, spent years battling tech companies to try and get the footage taken down. After little success, Parker announced Friday that he is running for Congress to make the internet a"safer place for kids, and for families, and to make the economy fair for everyone."
"Meanwhile, their platforms spread lies and conspiracy theories, glorify violence, subject our kids to bullying and pornography, and tear our country apart," Parker continued.
