Meet the Candidate

After canvassing my entire division with the help of fellow Greens Chris Robinson and Dave Houck, I've submitted nominating papers bearing thirty-four valid signatures to be placed on the ballot as our party's candidate for Inspector of Election. The legal requirement is five.

Consulting election results on the City Commissioners' and PhilaDems websites, I observe that this past primary, just like four years ago, no one bothered running for Judge or Inspector of Election in either "major" party for my division. This means I'll be the only candidate on the November ballot for our election board!

I'm also pleased to note that while Shoshana Bricklin, the progressive candidate for Municipal Court who ran in the Democratic primary with the support of Greens like myself and Chris Robinson, didn't win citywide, she came in third (out of three openings) in my division, and #1 in his!

Notwithstanding this special update, what I wrote in the previous post still applies if you wish to get in touch with me.
