Dear Democratic Voter:
We, Chuck and Nadine, are the team running for reelection as your Committee People. What we bring to the job is lots of energy, sincere mutual respect and an excellent working relationship with our colleagues. The 9th Ward endorses us, as does our friend and State Representative, Chris “Rep” Rabb. We hope that we can count on your vote!
This primary will decide the fate of Pennsylvania—and the Nation
Make sure your voice is heard in what may be the most consequential primary of our lives!
US SENATE: The 9th Ward strongly endorses Conor Lamb to be the next US Senator from Pennsylvania.
PA is key to controlling the US Senate in 2022. Our next Senator will cast the deciding vote on judicial nominees, to include possibly the Supreme Court. Conor Lamb has the electoral experience, energy and integrity to be PA’s Senator. As a Congressman, Lamb advocated for veterans’ services, women’s reproductive rights, raising the minimum wage, and expanding Medicare. He stood up to the mob at the Capitol on Jan. 6. He is a fierce proponent of holding all who conspired to overturn the November 2020 election accountable. Lamb has voted 100% of the time in accordance with President Biden’s ambitious legislative agenda. Endorsed by groups ranging from PA NOW to Philly’s Black Clergy, Lamb will build bridges across the commonwealth to give us the representation that we deserve.
PA GOVERNOR: The 9th Ward strongly and unanimously endorses Josh Shapiro for governor.
Josh Shapiro is the most qualified candidate for governor. Having served as a state representative, a county commissioner, and PA’s Attorney General, Josh has proven that he has the vision, progressive track record, and focus to lead our commonwealth in these very uncertain times. Without the veto power of the governor, nefarious GOP bills restricting abortion, LGBTQ rights, access to the ballot, and even a teacher’s right to teach students without fear of prosecution will become the laws of the commonwealth. We cannot let the governorship come under GOP control!
PA LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR: The 9th Ward strongly endorses Mon Valley State Rep. Austin Davis, to be PA’s next lieutenant governor.
State Rep. Austin Davis is Josh Shapiro’s chosen running mate.The lieutenant governor oversees the parole board, presides over the PA Senate and is a vital partner in assisting the governor in the day-to-day functions of the state. Austin Davis has the experience necessary to excel as a teammate in this vital partnership.
US CONGRESS: The 9th Ward strongly endorses the reelection of Rep. Dwight Evans to the US Congress. In his six years in office,Congressman Dwight Evans has advocated for healthcare for children, seniors, and veterans; fought for tax fairness, civil rights, better housing, and the revitalization of our neighborhoods; and steadfastly upheld the rights of LGBTQ Americans and all citizens who struggle for visibility and representation.
PA SENATE: The 9th Ward strongly and unanimously endorses the reelection of Sen. Art Haywood to the PA State Senate.
State Sen. Art Haywood has been a steadfast advocate for public education, raising the minimum wage, restricting access to guns, and fighting for solutions to the scourge of gun violence.
PA STATE HOUSE: The 9th Ward strongly endorses the reelection of the 9th Ward’s own Rep. Chris Rabb to the PA State House for the 200th District.
State Rep Chris “Rep” Rabb has been an impassioned and tireless progressive advocate for criminal justice reform, reproductive rights, social justice, racial equity, public education, workers’ rights, and youth services. He is a staunch supporter of access to healthcare for all Pennsylvanians, and has provided robust, innovative, and energetic constituent services throughout the 200th District.
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE: The 9th Ward unanimously endorses Nina Ahmad and Ahsan Nasratullah to serve on the PA Democratic State Committee.
CHARTER CHANGE BALLOT QUESTIONS: The 9th Ward recommends a “yes” vote on all four ballot initiatives:
(1) amending the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter to increase the number of mayoral appointees to the Zoning Board of Adjustment from five to seven; (2) amending the Charter to remove all gender-based references; (3) amending the Educational Supplement to the Charter to remove all gender-based references; (4) amending the Charter to establish the Fair Housing Commission as an independent commission to adjudicate unfair rental practices and issues concerning landlord and tenant relationships.
We look forward to seeing you in the neighborhood and at the polls on May 17th!
Chuck McNabb & Nadine Stevenson
Your 9th Ward/3rd Division Democratic Committee People
