PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — Republican mayoral candidate David Oh went into Tuesday’s general election race with several things in his favor. The party in power, the Democrats, had squandered all of the goodwill and faith that voters gave it in the past few years as crime hit historic rates, homelessness and open-air drug markets overtook several neighborhoods, and the city’s school system degraded further into ineptitude.
The city is still recovering from a 2021 gun violence crisis, which led to a record year for homicides. And while the violent crime numbers have lessened in the past 18 months, property crime has risen a whopping 24%, according to data collected by the police. He told the local PBS station Monday that people in the city didn’t elect him to run on national politics: “They elected me to take care of the problems here in our city, and that’s what I’m going to be focused on.”“I am not interested in it, and whatever other mayors want to do to get involved in all kinds of things, that’s fine, but I am really kind of opposed to it,” he said.
