Daily News | Philly’s Northwest coalition has elected mayors. Will it determine the next one?
More recently, the coalition became known for endorsements in the 2015 mayoral raceLarry Krasner. The elevation of two white candidates by a group founded on elevating Black political power also showed how the movement’s mission had changed.
For example, state Rep. Chris Rabb beat a party-backed candidate to win his Northwest seat and then defeated incumbent and coalition-backed Isabella Fitzgerald after their districts were drawn together. That’s somewhat reflected in voting. The Northwest’s share of the citywide vote dropped 20% from 2018 to 2022. But that figure doesn’t tell the whole story. The Northwest’s vote share in 2018 was high because other areas had low turnout. In 2022, its share decreased comparatively, though taken in aggregate, raw votes coming out of the Northwest haven’t declined much at all. If anything, an analysis of the Northwest shows its relative stability compared to the rest of the city.
