ArtForFreedom Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 Also first black woman Former City Councilmember Cherelle Parker is the projected winner of the hotly contested Democratic mayoral primary, according to the Associated Press, and in line to make history as the first woman to be Philly mayor. With more than three-quarters of precincts reporting, Parker was showing 33% of the vote, prevailing by a double-digit margin over the second-place finisher, according to unofficial returns. If Parker wins in the November general election as expected, she will be the first woman mayor — and first Black woman mayor — in 333 years of Philadelphia mayoral history. https://billypenn.com/2023/05/16/philadelphia-mayor-winner-may-primary-election-results/ 1
Bears01 Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 She supports stop and frisk. Eric Adams 2.0. No thank you, thankfully Chicago and LA rejected these DINOS

Horizon Flame Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 She’s very conservative. She’s a huge supporter of the police and vows to hire more, is pro-stop and frisk, is anti-safe injection sites, and wants school to be all year doing. She still has to win in November. Progressives bombed in Philly. Helen Gym had Bernie and AOC out there for her, was endorsed by Cynthia Nixon and Mark Ruffalo flew a plane over the Taylor Swift concert promoting her. The DSA candidate lost to a woman who didn’t even campaign. Philly voters made it clear going into the primary that crime is their #1 issue.

There's no evidence that this is the takeaway to make from a low turnout primary where progressives and suburbanite voters failed to get behind the same candidate, allowing for conservative voters and older voters to coalesce around one candidate in a crowded field: Just like how the editorials claiming "people are sick of progressive policies on crime!" after Adams' win in NYC burnt to a crisp under his now horrifically low approvals, progressives' failure to have fully-funded black candidates who can appeal to older voters =/= some kind of voter rejection of said policies. See: Brandon Johnson's win in Chicago. Edited May 17, 2023 by Communion
