Republican City Councilmember Brian O'Neill has held his Northeast Philadelphia-based seat since 1980.Brian O’Neill, the only Republican member of Philadelphia City Council, has represented Northeast Philadelphia for 44 years, and he’s vying to add another term to his resume.Democratic union leader Gary MasinoO’Neill, a 73-year-old retired lawyer, has served on Council since 1980. If he wins reelection, he’ll have a staggering 31 years more experience than his next most tenured colleague.
O’Neill said he is seeking a 12th term “because I am effective at doing this job, and I love doing it.” A moderate Republican in a mostly Democratic district, O’Neill generally steers away from partisan politics. But he said that part of the reason he is running again is to push back on the policies of progressive District Attorney Larry Krasner, who is persona non grata in the police-friendly Northeast.
