Decision2023: Former Philadelphia Mayor John Street has thrown his support behind Democratic candidate Rebecca Rhynhart in the 2023 mayoral race.
The 79-year-old Street -- who served the city's highest office for two-terms from 2000 to 2008 -- announced his support for Rhynhart, 48, on Tuesday morning.
“I am endorsing Rebecca Rhynhart for mayor because she is the most qualified non-incumbent to ever run for the office and the best candidate in this race to lead our city,” Street said in a statement shared by Rhynhart's campaign. “Rebecca cares about Philadelphia and I know that she will give all of our neighborhoods and residents the care they deserve. She is a fighter who tirelessly pushes for what is right.
