Ken Plum: Doing the heavy lifting

Ken Plum

I announced my first bid for elective office in 1973 while standing on the steps of the historic Fairfax County Courthouse.

Tragedy pushed a young Tim Martin to a career chasing bad guys. His older brother, Edward, was shot in the head at point-blank range during a 1993 robbery. Tim Martin, then 16, was a regular in the courtroom at the trial of the man accused of shooting Edward, then 23, and Edward’s girlfriend, Sheryl L. Stack, 20, who was killed in the shooting.
