Reply to comment by mrpeaceNunity in Rebecca Rhynhart is running to be Philly’s 100th mayor – the first female to lead the city by Saint_2022

Politicians generally aren’t, it matters more who they’re prepared to serve though

Philadelphians want political leaders who are from the masses. We have 25% poverty level.

Couple of good examples: Kendra Brooks Jamie Gauthier

I don't like Rebecca for mayor. She is good as a controller but not as a mayor. I don't see her bringing unity or as someone who can identify with Philadelphians.

Again I like Jeff Brown and I also like Maria. But I lean towards Jeff.

In a city with 25% poverty I think someone who has practical experience with providing jobs and food is a good choice.

Is the mayor in charge of a soup kitchen or something?

For the amount of poor people we have in this city and kids who go hungry we need to some poverty first.

This city won't improve and compete unless we tackle poverty head on.

Rebecca has no track record of tackling poverty. She is disconnected and out of touch.
