Daily News | How Jeff Brown’s three bad days could shape the Philly mayor’s race
. His campaign released a poll in February showing him leading the pack, but without any independent, public polling, it’s unclear how robust his support is or how it’s trending.In his view, the attacks are part of expected pushback. He has been unabashed in his criticism of anyone who has held political office while the city has navigated intersecting crises, and he says his rivals are corrupt and attacking him because they don’t have accomplishments to run on.
Kyle Anderson, a spokesperson for Brown’s campaign, said in a statement Wednesday that Brown is fighting against “entrenched political elite.” “Virtually every other candidate has served in elected office while this city has deteriorated, and they are accountable for that,” Anderson said. “Electing any of them mayor would be entrusting the person who created the mess to clean it up.”Anderson also clarified Brown’s comments on Chester, saying that as mayor, Brown would review all proposed contracts, including those with waste disposal firms.
“To suggest that his focus on serving Philadelphians over residents of another municipality is somehow racist is a lie and the kind of distortion we’ve come to expect from some of the other candidates,” he said. Multiple candidates said during and after the debate that the comments were racially insensitive, given Chester is a majority-Black city. After Brown said, “The trash has got go somewhere,” Rhynhart said, “That’s not really an appropriate answer.” Gym said, “disgrace,” and Parker said, “That response is the same way you treat the Black and brown community.”
