Daily News | Helen Gym makes it official and launches a run for Philadelphia mayor on a pledge to address gun violence
Former City Councilmember Helen Gym announced Wednesday that she will run for Philadelphia mayor on a pledge to address the city’s alarmingly high rate of gun violence, saying “everything is at stake right now.”
But while the longtime activist who’s typically aligned with the Democratic Party’s left wing said violence is “destroying our city and our people,” she was far from taking a tough-on-crime tone. Councilmember David Oh is considering running on the Republican side. The Democrat who prevails in the May primary is favored to replaced term-limited Mayor Jim Kenney, given Philadelphia’s heavily Democratic electorate.
