Daily News | In the Democratic primary for Philly’s row offices, voters should value independence most | Endorsement
Thomas served as deputy controller for more than a decade, where he gained experience with audits, investigations, and making sure the city got what it paid for. He has a degree in accounting from Temple University and wants to use the office to gather data on the city’s biggest challenges — crime, schools, and economic growth — and propose evidence-based solutions.
He would also become the city’s first Black controller, which is long overdue. Like Rhynhart, he is not deeply entrenched within the political machine. He is running against Christy Brady, who took over for Rhynhart when she resigned to run for mayor. Although Brady has worked at the City Controller’s Office for 28 years, she is aligned with former Controller Alan Butkovitz, a Democratic insider, longtime ward leader, and former state representative. Fresh eyes are needed to maintain the office’s independence.
