Working Families Party Elects Two Members to Philadelphia City Council

On November 7, two Working Families Party nominees were elected to at-large spots on the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania city council. The election is partisan, and uses limited voting. Seven at-large seats are up but no party is permitted to run more than five nominees. So with only five Democrats on the ballot, this means it is inevitable that some other party will win the other two seats. Effectively the race was between the Republican nominees and the Working Families nominees.

Four years ago the Working Families Party elected Kendra Brooks. She was re-elected yesterday, and another WFP nominee, Nicholas O’Rourke, also won. Thanks to Independent Political Report for this news.

    Judges could decide one big question in Michigan redistricting lawsuit

    KALAMAZOO – It’s not clear a suit-clad career political operative invoking Eminem in a drab federal courtroom in West Michigan is what the Detroit-area rapper had in mind during the filming of his hit biopic 8 Mile.
    But that’s exactly what happened during the trial in a redistricting lawsuit challenging state legislative districts that run through Detroit brought by a group of voters in the area.
    When he took the witness stand, former state Rep. LaMar Lemmons III said the white rapper crossed 8 Mile to gain a cultural experience in Michigan’s largest – and majority-Black – city to launch his musical career. Lemmons and others spoke of the significance of Detroit’s northern boundary and the county line that separates the city from suburban Oakland and Macomb counties during the federal trial in the case.

    By drawing state legislative districts that cross it, Michigan’s citizen mappers eliminated majority-Black districts in the state Senate and reduced the number of such districts in the state House. The legal challenge to the commission’s work alleges that the new lines illegally disenfranchise Black voters. Lawyers for the commission counter that the new lines were drawn to reflect population trends in metro Detroit, provide opportunities for candidates preferred by Black voters to win, achieve fair maps and pair communities that share legislative priorities.
    The lawsuit marks the most significant test to the new citizen-drawn maps.
