Of the 17 City Councilmembers, 15 sought reelection. Of those, 14 won. The race of the 15th -- Jannie Blackwell in the 3rd -- is still too early too call. #PhillyVoteshttps://www.philly.com/politics/election/philadelphia-city-council-election-results-primary-2019-20190522.html …
What a story! In 2015, Helen Gym got into City Council in the fifth Democratic slot and with only 1,270 votes from the sixth place -- which would have left her off Council. This cycle, Gym is decisively in 1st place with a 40,000 vote lead on the 2nd place. #PhillyVotespic.twitter.com/0as8Zg5FHs
Say congrats to the first two millennial on City Council: ISAIAH THMOAS & KATHERINE GILMORE RICHARDSON who seem to have won the 3rd and 5th places at-large, respectively. The other three Dems are the incumbents -- Gym, Domb, and Green. #PhillyVoteshttps://www.philly.com/politics/election/philadelphia-at-large-city-council-election-results-winners-primary-2019-isaiah-thomas-katherine-gilmore-richardson-20190522.html …
UPSET IN WEST PHILLY
The last time a councilmember w/ a last name that isn't Blackwell sat on the Council seat from the 3rd district was 1974. Tonight, it seems that JAMIE GAUTHIER brought a dynasty to an end. 95.5% of the vote in and she's with a steady 3,000 vote lead.pic.twitter.com/GeDpGd52C0
Dem delegation to next City Council will be 7 years younger than the current 14 Dems, with 1 fewer white member, & 1 more black member.
Of 17 seats, 2 at-large are secured for minority party. One district is controlled by R but will face a challenge in the fall. #PhillyVotes
Philadelphia never had an openly LGBTQ member of City Council. There were 4 on the ballot this year -- including a trans women. None were elected. #PhillyVotes
A big question early on in the at-large race was how relevant ballot position is going to be. There will be time to analyze everything careful, but at quick glance, 4 of the 5 winners didn't have premium ballot real-estate. #PhillyVotespic.twitter.com/9rOAW5xxLW
