In our race at least, there isn't anybody with a kind of background that Eric Adams had when he ran as mayor of New York. You didn't see that in Chicago and I think you then had a pretty hard discussion about where the Chicago electorate, where the Philadelphia electorate may actually very well land. So you know, I feel very strongly that this is an area that we have to win.
Featuring Nikil Saval and Helen Gym on how the history of Philadelphia social movements brought Nikil into the state senate and has made Helen, a long-time public education organizer, a frontrunner in the mayoral race.
