This week’s Civics 101 lesson is wrapped up on the May 16, 2023, Primary Election story, a story that won’t be complete until at least May 17, the day after the primary. I say that just in case any tight races may take a day or two after the election before it’s clear who the winner is.
As I’ve been reporting all along thus far, in this election cycle, there’s been quite a few twists and turns and even a few surprises. For instance, a year ago, if you had told me there would be at least 14 people who would try to run for Mayor, I would have probably told you–to stop joking. If anyone had tried to tell me that 30 candidates would try to get a city council at large, I would have said, stop pulling my leg. And a year ago, if a little birdie had whispered in my ear that Philadelphia City Council President Darrell Clarke would not run for reelection, I’d have called you a bold-faced liar; and I would have been wrong.
