Daily News | Kenyatta Johnson and Curtis Jones Jr. are front-runners in the Philly Council president race
to support him. He got a hero’s welcome at the first Council meeting after his exoneration.
“I do that now currently to try to get to nine and understanding certain people may not be able to support things other people can and not put people in bad positions based on where they stand,” Squilla said.“It’s about empowering and supporting my members that they advocate for their own policy ideas, but also it’s working collectively as a body to move the city of Philadelphia forward,” Johnson said in an interview.
Jones is known for his colorful and long-winded speeches. The Council president, however, traditionally does not make speeches during session. “Me not endorsing her is not a reflection of my confidence in her ability of moving the city forward,” he said.
