The 9th District includes parts of Mt. Airy, East and West Oak Lane, and Olney, and stretches to neighborhoods in the lower Northeast, including Lawndale and Oxford Circle. The seat has long been held by elected officials affiliated with the storied Northwest Coalition,“It’s hard to celebrate this particular race in Philadelphia, because there’s so much work to be done,” Phillips said Tuesday night.
Phillips, who lives in East Mt. Airy, is one of four new members of City Council picked in special elections Tuesday, all expected to be Democrats filling seats vacated by members who resigned ahead of mayoral runs.
