Gov. Josh Shapiro is endorsing Philadelphia City Councilmember Kendra Brooks, of the progressive Working Families Party, in her reelection bid.
In a statement Wednesday, Shapiro said Brooks, of the labor-aligned Working Families Party, “has been a fierce advocate for Philadelphia’s working families and has demonstrated to me how critical her voice and lived experience are in City Council.”
The endorsement is a significant development two months before the Nov. 7 general election as four candidates — two Republicans and two Working Families Party candidates —that are effectively reserved for non-Democrats. The seats had been held by Republicans for 70 years until 2019, when Brooks won her first term.
The race for the seats that represent the city at-large is one of the most closely watched this fall as Brooks tries to repeat her historic 2019 win. That year,Shapiro, who took office in January and is rumored to have presidential aspirations, presents himself as a political moderate.
