Daily News | Philly’s next mayor shouldn’t take the summer off
Under normal circumstances, I’d applaud Cherelle Parker for not prematurely inserting herself into mayoral matters as the Democratic nominee in a mostly Democratic city that all but guarantees the job is hers.winning the Democratic primaryIt sounds like an appropriate and — let’s be honest — politically safe move, right? Let the current guy finish out his time, sage the bad juju out of the office, and start fresh.
Now’s the time for us to talk about Philadelphia’s future. What the city needs in its next leader is someone who understands that old rules of political politesse don’t apply, not in a city where many residents feel like they’ve long been left to fend for themselves.She’s also said she’s getting her own house in order before campaigning starts up again in the fall for the November general election. I get that; I can barely write a column if my house is a mess.
Fair enough. But I’ll remind her and Republican candidate David Oh that no one vying to lead Philadelphia should be standing on the sidelines waiting for their official start date. It’s bad enough that most of the candidates fighting for the Democratic nomination all but disappeared after they lost.
