Dear Voters –
The 8th Ward Democratic Committee Members votes together as a body on who our Ward will endorse and include on our Voter Guide.
Your neighborhood Committee People volunteered over several months to interview, assess, debate & vote on which candidates to include in this Voter Guide & Sample Ballot.
- Judicial Candidates – legal ability and temperament to decide fairly, compassionately, and with common sense.
- We proudly endorse our 8th Ward friend Larry Farnese for Court of Common Pleas. Larry is Recommended by the Philadelphia Bar and endorsed by Representative Ben Waxman and Senator Nikil Saval, along with others throughout the City.
- Controller Christy Brady – doing great work keeping City agencies accountable.
- A DA challenger – with new ideas – to both strengthen merciful justice reforms and protect community peace, safety, and accountability, so all in Philadelphia can thrive.
- We debated serious issues and concerns thoughtfully, passionately, and respectfully; at the end of our process, we ratified unanimously all voted decisions to include the candidates you’ll see in our Guide.
Please vote for all of the folks we took the time and effort to recommend and include in this guide.
